I’ve been thinking a lot about the mind and the body (probably because I am reading this guy’s book on the brain and phantom limbs). Lately I have been having trouble running. I know I have some what of a deadline coming up - by March 24th I need to be able to run 13.2 miles. Usually when I’m running, I don’t have a set distance. In the summer time I keep adding more and more distance on until I can run about 8 miles comfortably. But I hardly even notice the change. Now, on the tredmill, I can hardly do two miles. It’s only until my body and mind can be in sync with each other: my body has to forget my mind’s frustrations, and my mind has to convince my body to get over limitations.
