Running Musings - 092207

I ran my fastest 2 miles, which was the goal, but it wasn't the speed I was thinking I could do, and it wasn't graceful. There's no doubt in my mind that I can do the speed I want to do, though.

I stopped the treadmill twice, and I increased the speed towards the end. There was a little bit where my form just seemed to click. It's still unnerving that something like that could feel right. I had to stop that time because I was waiting for a tension that wasn't there. I'm going to try for my goal 2 miles until I reach it. I wasn't too tired afterwards, I was annoyed at myself. Annoyed is a better feeling to have than too tired having felt both at different times in my life.

If I'm to be a runner, which I am, I may need to change some actions; eat differently as I know I should, and have done sporadically. Maybe be more active overall or not. If a day, like today, is a nap in the afternoon type of day, maybe it's not the type of day to run, and that sluggish feeling affects my running. I have had good runs after naps, though. I've had good runs after coffee, and I usually have good runs after a banana. Cool things to think about to just be at ease with the run. It is truly amazing that ease is disconcerting, like I should try harder or something. Angst is loud, if there is ease in running, it's too silent, and some noise or angst needs to be created.
