At 13:41, started a 7.96 mile run that lasted for 53:16 (m:s), for an average pace of 6:42. It was a beautiful day, so I decided to take off from work for an extended lunch to go for the run that I missed in the morning. Eating lunch before hand was not a good idea, as I spent some of the time during the run, keeping it down. A good portion of the later half of the run was telling myself that my mind and body were separate, so that I might push myself harder. I attempted to do this, because there were times during the run were it seemed to happen naturally. Getting so lost in thoughts, that it seemed as though the body were on autopilot.
It felt good to get out. The rain has been a difficult barrier to overcome. I feel as though my mind has been encountering many obstacles as well, and is in some way feeling trapped. The separation of mind and body was a surprising reminder of the possibilities outside of my current funk. I really didn't consider myself to be in a funk until I stopped to think about it, post the glimpse over the wall I was up against that the run temporarily broke through.
