Been having some good runs in the last two weeks. Im not your traditional runner and thus I've not a natural running action or posture. Generally running has not been my strong point however combining that with my need to build a strong and healthy body, I've become more prone to running and as I've been running to gym instead of running at gym - I've found the whole outdoor experience as important for mr as the gym itself. Because I'm running more regularly, the runs seem easier as I don't get tired at the same points in the journey as say I did before.

It's quite groovy because it's a physical indication that I'm adapting to running. This is great because it shows I'm changing and improving.

I think Rhythm and consistency are huge enablers and allow your body to adapt as it's easier to cope with consistency than it is to cope with constant change.

With all that said, I find that eating has become a silent focus of mine. I eat only a few things but I like to know that what I eat is beneficial. I have breakfast in the mornings now which is a change - probably influenced by the fact that I own my time and space absolutely and can do or decide to do at my own pace which is great. Thinking now, living on my own has probably allowed me to concentrate and focus on my health more so I think than ever before. Also, psychologically I think it has contributed to my state of mind, which is positive and I dependant.

I got home the other day and I realised how happy I am as an individual, how appreciative I am of life and living and how wonderful our right to feel freedom is.

This, my running and gym activities coupled with my job, my preffered career and constant self learning really motivate me and that's great.
