"focus is the directed divorce of mental concentration from physical sensation" - me. yes, the first quote that i consider awesome enough to be attributed to me.
so tonight was a great tempo run. i was good. it was a little like running back in minot. once i hit the last 3 miles, it was a rails-trails deal, and it was FAST. and i knew it. it was at the end, during the cooldown, that i thought up that thought at the beginning. my mind was controlling my body like a puppet; i was getting all manner of cramps and stiches and everything, but i was just like… whatever. i rocked. my breathing was controlled the entire time as well, never went into interval breathing. i’m gonna swim tomorrow, then do a short tempo run on saturday, then long run on sunday.
no pain tonight, in my small nikes. i think my body was made to run fast.

Really nice times! Kind of cool when it all comes together and it seems effortless. To run beautifully as Pre would say.
