Running on air

There are rare days where the miles just flow and time stands still. It comes unexpectedly and you can’t force it to happen. Your body, especially the legs, have to cooperate with the mind and that’s when the magic happens. You can’t plan for it, for me, it just happens. During these runs, you feel like you can run on and on. I had to catch it when it finds me. I have to remember what led to this and try to mimic the same actions. That’s why I am keeping a running journal to see if there are trends and if so, I can try to develop a system around it. 

I have noticed if I do a few sets of leg press, my legs are primed for running. I have been going through this routine and it is working out. I will continue to stay on this while taking a few off days to see if there’s a pattern.

December is here. Let’s make a plan to see what we can accomplish this month. 

• i will run a 10k and 15k during a weekend in December

• I will swim 7k (yards) this month

• I will swim/bike/run one day this month
