COMMENTS

When I am out of shape, each run is psychologically measured out in distance.  I am aware of every lap, every straight, every curve, most of the time every step is deliberate.  In time, when the body becomes stronger, time takes over as the most important factor.  I feel like it’s how wolves run; they go on for long periods of time, not interested in how far they go, but only in how they feel.  This is the beginning of the best kind of runs.  Today, for example, I decided to stop after seven miles, but I did not have to stop.  I thought it best not to push the increasing mileage too fast, but it felt fabulous to have still been strong enough after seventy two minutes to have kept going.  Now I think my training is going to get interesting.
