Yet another week has passed and in just 2 short weeks the race that I have trained for all these months will be nearly over. This past week has been very easy as far as my running has gone. I have put my self-doubt to rest and I am finding flow.
Flow is defined as "a mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement and success in the process of the activity." In flow, the emotions are "positive, energized and aligned with the task at hand."
I have read about flow and thought about it but I didn't really know what it was until these past few days. Suddenly, when I am running things just feel right. Yesterday, I found my pace and settled into my run so quickly that I ran my first mile in about 9 minutes. While that is definitely not a pace I can keep up for long it is something to be proud of. So, as I say goodbye to May and hello to June, I think I am right where I want to be.
13 days and counting...
