I bet you've heard of (and practiced) multi-tasking. (If not, do you live under a rock? Even I multitask, and I live on an island!) I'm multitasking right now while writing this blog.
Anyway, I realized recently that this is one of the reasons I enjoy running. It's single tasking. When I'm running, I'm just running. I suppose I could think about all sorts of other things while running, but I really don't find myself doing that. I pretty much think about running - how I'm feeling, my pacing, my breathing, etc. I do sometimes think about the scenery I am running past, usually in terms of appreciating it. But then I go right back to thinking about running. There's something quite relaxing and mind-clearing about single tasking. Yes, I know it's funny to say that I find running relaxing. But in a sense, I do.
I ran 2.3 miles today. I've lost 15 pounds and am about 17% of the way to my goal.
You go girl!

ReplyDeleteI'm confused as to why you think living on an island would exempt you from any part of normal life. That is unless you live on Fantasy Island and if that's the case, please say "Hello!" to Mr. Rourke and Tattoo for me.
Oh..congratulations on increasing your distance and on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteI don't actually think living on an island exempts me from multitasking. That sentence was meant to be funny. I will say hello to Tattoo if I see him, though. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks!
