Running thoughts

[Yesletsgo]

Today's run was an easy 3k. Having done 5k the other day the plan was to just take it very easy and enjoy the sunshine and scenery.

After about a km I had a thought so asked my husband, who was running behind me, if he minded that I was running so slowly when he is capable of going much faster than me.

There was a silence...then he said, 'No, it's not about speed, this is my meditation.'

You know what, he's right.

Exactly, and slow is good for meditation

Speed is overrated

Love it... mindful running is excellent! Well done both!

Thank you, the slower you go the more thinking you can do

Totally... I run very slowly and think a lot
