Run Positive




Yesterday.
Beautiful sunny cool morning run before firing up the Supervictory machine for another day. 3 miles in I realize I've spent the last 3 miles worrying about my flat feet, and my tweaked knee, and how long before I injure myself again, and what kind of distance dreams will die along the way.

And then...
I pretty much had to slap myself across the face and say:
Hey Idiot, you've spent the last 3 miles of this beautiful cool morning WORRYING about running instead of enjoying it. It made me question the power of mind over matter, and whether thinking injury-free can actually help keep you there.

I don't know.
But why not?
It can't hurt.

The little running brain made me think: "What this site needs is some animated .gifs from the 90's"!

Seriously, just scroll down to "runner.gif" - http://www.randall.k12.wi.us/gifs/PICLIST3.HTM
