running is transdental

I had the best hour run today of about 6.0 miles. Between 10 and 45 minute marks, it was just consciousness and music. I was jacked in. Kind of like that scene at the end of the "matrix" when he realizes he is the one and he easily does Kung fu or causes bullets to drop just by thinking about it. I made an agreement with my body to just do it and go on autopilot, enjoying the lyrics of my music. It takes about 10 minutes to reach that warm runner buzz. It wore off around 45 minutes when my legs started getting tired. This IS my new addiction.

Awesome fiddle! Not a bad addiction to have knowing our previous one!

It most certainly is an addiction. I find myself thinking about when I can get away with having another session without overtraining. What a change from avoiding movement because of the discomfort involved and the breatless effort required to net little result!

A well treated body carries it's own high!

That endorphin high is what I'm missing with being away from the gym for so long! I cannot wait to get back in there and hit that high again! Exercise is addicting, for certain! I can't run because of old knee injuries, but I can get on the elliptical and go forever it seems! Transcendental, btw. When I saw Transdental I was afraid someone had broken a tooth!

Oops- thanks for the correction. I blame it on being high from the run.

Thanks, I am jealous of your sprints up the hill!

I've hit that groove a couple of times...it's great. You feel like you could run all day. I listen to my music, think about life....once I even caught myself daydreaming. Imagine that, thinking about some far away fantasy while I was running. When I first started, I counted every step and every breath

Just think, 6 months ago we couldn't run 100 yards.
