Had my first FUN run today!!!!!!!! I kept loosening my shoes along the way until they weren't even snug and this totally stopped the cramping/stress on my feet!!! Which goes along with the crazy book I'm reading, Born to Run, about crazy ultra-runner people who run 100 mile races and some of them in thin sandals. Some American went into the copper canyons in Mexico and got a group of tribal guys to come out and race. Got Rockport to sponsor them so they would run the first few miles of this Leadville wilderness race in the running shoes but then they'd meet them with their thin strappy sandals down the trail because the running shoes were too restrictive for them! So interesting. This book is so good I can't believe its not fiction and along the way its fun to google the people in it and actual see them!
And I've been trying to come up with fast music and do a 180 beat per minute pace like all the running experts talk about. Today I threw that out the window and listened to my Braveheart soundtrack music which is my obsession right now. This is slow, soft dreamy music. And it was MAGICAL!!!!! It was like my painting came alive in my head! And the sky was lightening with the glow of the approaching dawn and the stars were still out and it was truly joyful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to do more of this!!!! :o)
