overdrive
It’s nice when you can make a decision to shift gears and then make it happen.
This was how it was for me today. I was partway thru a 6 mile run when I decided it was time to shift gears and accelerate.
No sooner had I made that decision and I was really moving. It was awesome.
Today, making that decision was effortless. It’s not always. Sustaining it was not. But after getting up to speed, I wasn’t about to let it go without a fight. It was fantastic. I reached my car with a nice dose of euphoria — something I haven’t experienced in running since high school.
How difficult or easy is it for you to make the shift? When you do, what do you do to sustain it?

Life is a journey and, for me, running is a huge part of it. Just like a great run, it has easy and tough parts. It is beautiful at times and ugly at others. Hopefully, I will reach the finish feeling good about what I have accomplished and leave a long trail of bread crumbs to show, those that wish to know, where I have been.
