The aimless drift of a runners mind

Thought I share some thought bubbles that popped on top of my head during my lunch run today. It will give you a glimpse into what goes on in my head on a typical run.

“it sure is hot”
“eight seconds, mf’er (*&^”
“damn its hot”
“9 more weeks until the double… under 10 hours?... or just have fun... just have fun.”
“tired, maybe just 4 miles today”
“no, eight”
“no, six”
“1.45 miles, almost a quarter of the way done”
“8:40s, so slow… supposed to be a easy run today… but…”
“negative split..?”
“if I learned to swim, maybe a tri…”
“is 3:58 it for me? ergh…”
“wonder what is for dinner tonight…”

Some people say they find that Zen state during their run. My mind is usually just a mess. It has been hard for me to find the motivation to move after Seattle. I just can’t seem to get my mind to focus. 34 more… come’on lets go… keep on keep on.

One state, one mile, and one step at a time,
Jeff
