Deer

-

 I'm always a little bit nervous about getting hit by a deer during my morning runs. As ridiculous as it might sound they are moving fast and I'm moving fast and it only would take one hove to knock me over. This morning there was a deer at the end of my neighborhood and I stared at it and it stared at me a deer in the head lamp. I made sure to make enough noise to scare it off in the opposite direction that I was running in. 

There was a bit of light rain today which was a little bothersome but I dealt with it. I could still maintain my pacing and I'll take rain over snow any day of the week. My footing was sure which is something that could not have been said for most of the last 2 months. Once again I was able to get out with shorts on and long sleeve shirt. A good combination for a day like today. Another few degrees more and it would have been perfect.

I did about 2 miles with earbuds in but they were fiddly and as hard as I tried to adjust them i just couldnt get them to stay right. I think i tend to run much more even without anything in my ears so especially with internalizing marthon pace its probably better when i don't have them in. I tend to use my sense of hearing to understand my footfalls and breathing better.

There are no shortcuts in running

There are no short cuts in running. I can only make a measured amount of progress everyday. The only way to get better is in increments. There are apps for helping make progress, but there's no magic button to go from being able to run a 5k to a marathon. The process itself is straight forward and not necessarily hard to understand, but applying the process takes focus and stamina.  Once these are achieved, it's possible for the process to become at least a little easier because there is clarity about how things get done. The internal dialogue  moves from " if I run today" to " when I run today". This mental status is what endurance is built from.  And endurance builds upon itself. When I finished my first marathon, one of the most enlighten moments came when my brain thought "if you can do that, what else is possible?!" My body changed from a physical processes, but I realized my mindset changed just as much. This empowering mindset not only work...

Rest is part of the work

I made a small change to my usual routine today. It is a rest day so instead of putting on my fitness watch, I put on my "just tell the time" watch. This doesn't seem like much, but throughout the day it reminded me this is a rest day and I should take it seriously. I know it will alter the every day metrics being recorded by the fitness watch, but that's ok. Does everything need to measured all the time? Apparently not because I have no idea what my "body battery" reading is this evening. I just know I feel sorta tired and should go to bed soon. I'm not sure my stress level, but I suspect it was a little elevated getting the kids off to bed. I didn't count my steps wheeling around the grocery store getting charcuterie materials for an exhibition opening tomorrow, but if I needed to guess, that would have been the highest concentration of steps in the day.  The deeper I go into the training cycle the more I will value the weekly rest day on Wednesday...
