50 miles a day for 100 days is incredible. I like to always have something to shoot for and focus on like a race. But I notice once i cross the finish line i usually fall into a slight depression. Almost as if my mind/body is saying ok now what?
This is a great email on the idea of achieving that state of mind and body. Much to ponder. I did not see it until today (3/25) because I came here looking for the Fri email. I missed it when it was sent.
My 2nd son, who got me back into running 6 years ago, has been a little sidetracked with owning his own business and three young daughters. He has recently started back into running. I have been sharing some of the emails with him to encourage him to keep at it and to join us as well. It is such an awesome group of encouragers!
Thank you so much for this one. It is a great reminder and great new thoughts. I have very seldom experienced it. I almost always have to make myself go out. I love running but there are things about my body that have a hard time with it. Yet I keep trying. Maybe if I can accomplish more of what you shared today I can get beyond it all.
I feel that flow during almost every run for at least a portion of my runs. It’s rare I don’t. My runs are my time to pray, ponder, vent to God, etc., & maybe that’s why. If I don’t feel a spiritual connection to God when I run, it’s a tough run. Does that make sense? I think that’s why I connect with MK’s coaching style. We keep our heart rates under 140 for 90% of our training. It’s a slow, steady pace that allows me that time to think & pray. Some of my best ideas happen on my runs, by the way!

Reading River of Doubt, incredible story
Flow is a great read. Recommended by a wood worker instructor. Works in all endeavors.

"Runs like a feather on the wind." My most memorable line from Running Home
Loved Katie Arnold's Running Home. It is so relatable. At times, it had me in tears.
Right on
