You get to point in running that your mind just floats. While running, I still do my "checks and balances" but that all happens in the background. Today, while I was out running, I floated through all my past injuries and the effect that it had on me at that time. As I arrived at my latest injury, one word came to mind, "reset". This recent injury brought me back to square one and gave me the perspective of appreciation of being back at the beginning. After years of 20 mile runs, I am cool with 3. It's really not the distance. It is the act - mentally, physically, and most of all spiritually. Just having the ability to go out and run... to float. That works for me.
