10 days to go...
This morning on the treadmill I walked a tenth of a mile, ran 2.15 miles and walked another two-tenths to cool down.
That 2.15 miles is the most distance I've run yet in this training. I felt successful...but I have a confession make...
I was watching cartoons the whole time.
Does that invalidate the experience as much as my guilt seems to imply it does???
The obvious issue is that there will be no cartoons to watch while running the actual 5K in West Palm Beach. Or will there?! Oh...no, definitely not? Hmph. That's what I thought...
The real thing to focus on here is the state of mind that I was able to acheive while running/watching. Which is basically No Mind. I was zoned out. I was moving but not thinking. I was out of my pain centers. My brain had found another, more enticing way to occupy itself.
Maybe on my next run I'll try to substitute breath for cartoons and see how it goes.
Yu-gi-oh!
