Blank
So, this evening I put another 3.1 miler in the log book. The sky was grey and the air was wet with drizzle. And it occurs to me as I sit down to record my thoughts on the run that this is all I remember of my run. Somehow I was able to set aside the nightmare that is my life at the moment and blank out. I've decided to consider it a blessing. This is something I actually look forward to with every run but don't always achieve it. I'm sure that during the duration I spent considering my lot well enough, but to not remember it...priceless. Is this abnormal?

I have never experienced it. I can't say it's abnormal, but I wish I could have experienced it while running. Is that the jogger's high? It does sound like a blessing, regardless.
ReplyDeleteHi S&S. Hmmmm. I've experienced the runner's high just a few times and I think the experience is different. The high makes one feel rather euphoric and just really glad to be alive. This was more like a complete zone out. Both, as you say, are a blessing. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI think that's part of the beauty of a run. It's you and the ground and literally putting one foot in front of the other. Thinking about anything else ruins it, makes it hard. So the emptiness that comes ... is one of the gifts.
ReplyDelete@Rae I'm glad it makes sense to someone.
