Running

Recently I joined a running group which teaches you how to run and which trains you do complete a 5K race. I was never into running, I don't enjoy running long distance. Running is what I did because it was a part of a sport or part of practice or a just a part of a bigger aspect. Therefore, I never really thought much of this running club, I always saw it as an endurance builder for my other sports but it has become something completely different.

Anyone who knows anything about me knows I love sports. Its a part of my life which makes me feel alive, which helps me in all other aspects of my life, its a thing that lets me be me. Recently, I've discovered running to give me a similar feel. Rather then the adrenaline rush that I crave, it gives me a chance to really think about stuff and to evaluate their importance. Huffing and puffing on the cold winter days, this running opens up my mind and my heart to the real things in life. I think its important that we all have a way to block out the world and just observe ourselves, our life, our souls, and our goals. Most people seem to do this in a yoga or meditative environment but for me it just happens to be running.

For those of you who have wanted to achieve and get in this state of mind, I think its important to know that its doesn't happen in any specific way for us all. Its for each of us to discover. It make be while in calm surroundings, it might be with an altered mind, it might when your outside running.
