What do you think about while jogging outside? I noticed most of the times I am focusing on getting my breathing right, I count to make sure I don't take short breath, I have to actually keep reminding myself ;) are your thoughts more interesting?
Keep Reading I will Keep Writing
Tanvee
All I can say is damn girl, you're faster than me!
ReplyDelete:) :) but I am no runner like you Leigh, I keep reading your blog for the discipline you have to get out and run as planned, the distance you run is amazing for me 10k is it.I am still trying to reduce my 10k time and then I will move to the next step..I have not had the courage to participate in a race because I think my speed is not good, or I will not be able to keep up on the race day
DeleteHi Tanvee! Yes, very much faster than Keebler and I doing our dog show run around the neighborhood. (I have the excuse of having a jogging partner with 8 inch long legs.:D) Really though, I talk to myself like that during my workouts. A lot of self-talk about confronting those feelings of slow down and just quit. And many feelings of encouragement, confidence, and triumph. You are AWESOME!!! :D
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I had a dog around for my own dog show ;). I wanted to write this post for a while so this morning I made it a point to keep track of my thoughts while running too..it is surprising how many times I have to keep pushing myself and encouraging myself to go on, as long as it works :)
DeleteMarion, I really should thank you for your daily dose of compliments, they always make my day..
Wow. ..I normally fast walk for 5 rounds in a stadium near my house. The stadium has football ground. I walk 5 rounds around it. I used to jog but stopped since I was diagnosed with gout in foot. I just think about things I need to do that day and many times about the work done yesterday and find some faults which I rectify today. I feel pleasant. But I am always sad I do it alone. But sometimes think its better as I can think.
ReplyDeletegoing through to-do list and just life is general is a good thing to do during walks,that is why I prefer to do them alone...becomes my thinking time..
Delete41 minutes is an awesome time! Well done! I think I wrote a similar post many months ago. You put your mind to it and did it. I love that 'stronger' voice that comes in during moments of doubt - definitely something to harness and use to fuel yourself during your workouts :)
ReplyDeleteit's all a mind game for me...I think I can push myself as much as my mind is willing to...if my mind says I can do it..I can otherwise no way would I finish in that time, I must go and loook at your post, read about the way your mind works, should be very interesting
DeleteFunny! I talk to myself all the time when I run too. Pep talk to keep me going if it's a challenging run. Self-therapy when it's an easy run. Either way, it's good for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy first thought usually is 'Oh... My Legs!!' because I haven't done any stretching since finishing my last run and it takes a few minutes to work it all out! The rest depends on whether I think it might have a good time. If I think that I might do well that day I just focus on pace and constantly pick it up. If I know I won't do that great, then I just sort of think about nothing, enjoy the scenery and such.
ReplyDeleteI usually listen to an audiobook and if I take my mind off that I miss something! I do talk to myself sometimes though as a way to encourage myself to keep going!
ReplyDeleteI always have an audiobook on hand. I listen to it while I exercise, clean the house, wait at traffic lights...
ReplyDeleteI listen music when I do exercise...& you have done great post...i like your blog....
