27/5

Something about running really makes me feel good about myself and what I can accomplish. I ran for 27 minutes straight today. I was well prepared for the cold and the blinding sunshine glazing off the snow. I felt crappy at first, but after about 10 minutes, started to feel fine. It was still hard. I got up to the breathing rhythm that I like, two counts in, two counts out. When I have a good rhythm, I feel much more stable, and I can go further. It's good meditation for me, to concentrate on rhythmic, consistent breathing. It helps me so I don't go too slow or too fast. It makes me peaceful.
