I listen to my shoulders and make sure they are relaxed.
I listen to my knees and tell them to run softly so not to jar them.
I listen to my feet and tell them to step longer.
I listen to my calves and tell them it's not much further.
I listen to my arms and tell them to drop lower and relax more.
But I dont listen to my mind. It doesn't get a say in how far or how fast I go.

    I love having you as a motivator. You always seem to add that one thing I need to get through my day. It's so hot here; the air is broken. I haven't had the motivation to work out. short walks have been it. Now, reading this, all i want to do is "dash" along the beach. Thank you for your always motivational spirit!

    That's what I need to do: do not listen to my mind :-)

    AMEN, Sistah!!!! FABULOUS!!! I only wish I had learned that EARLIER in my running training because it is SO TRUE! This is what will be on my mind as I train for the Half... :-D
