My joints and arthritis are really vulnerable to the humidity and today just seemed unbearable. So I decided to run indoors.
The indoor track is at the gym is 1/12 of a mile. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES I WENT AROUND IT.
[Sixty-THREE, in case you were really wondering.]
BORING.
By mile 3, I was gimping pretty badly – mostly because my body was feeling the repetition, I was bored and needed distraction. I decided it was time to get thorough my opening monologue. I know it runs about 14 minutes – hey – 14 minutes of distraction was MORE that sufficient for me to keep in the groove.
That’s all it took.
Don’t let any one tell you it’s not MIND over BODY.
It is.
It just takes knowing where to keep your focus.
