Just Keep Moving
Running, writing, and life.
I can’t believe that it’s already July.
The 4th is my day to take some time to reflect on the first half of the year.
My mind started to wander as soon as I sat down to think about goals, objectives, a what’s been accomplished.
I ended up spending a half-hour thinking about running (as opposed to actually running) and circling around the concept that running is life.
Running is life.
Not that I need to run, in fact, I do more of a slow jog these days than actual running.
The results are the same: mental clarity, working up a sweat, and fighting off the cheeseburgers.
When I’m out and tired and want to quit I repeat things in my head to mind fuck myself into forcing my body to keep moving.
My mantra through the pain is “just keep moving”.
Just keep moving.
Running is life in the sense that things around you will always change, but you have to keep moving.
The only alternative is to quit, and that is rarely a good option.
The pain doesn’t last forever.
