Running Art Project Sneak Peek

-

 I retraced my steps and found the mitten that fell out of my pocket yesterday. You would think I would have learned my lesson to zip up my pockets, but alas, I just shove them in my coat and presume they will stay put. It didn't take many steps to find, but when I did it felt stiff as a board from being on the frozen ground for the past 24 hours. In another couple weeks I'll be able to leave the mittens at home.

In other news, a art project I've been working on for the past several years is coming very close to completion. It is one thing to have an idea and a whole other thing to move the idea through the stages needed to reach completion. 

When I started running longer distances I used mapping software to create GPS art. It made for cool strava maps, but I wanted to bring them into a tangible space. With some help from additional mapping programs, I managed to form large scale images of the routes that showed individual houses and then set them up in full color. This week I printed them and they will be going on display at the Saginaw YMCA for a few months. Hopefully they can spark some curiosity and inspiration for people who see them. So far the response from the few people I've shown the BIG prints to has been universal delight.

I'll give more details about the exhibition as the precise details are confirmed.

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...
