"My mind got the best of me today"- my thought this morning
Today is Saturday and I decided to go for a 10 mile run. I decided to keep things fresh so I chose a slightly different path. I ran about 4 miles and instead of my normal turn I kept straight.
In my mind the path forward was about equal to the my normal turn. But as the time kept ticking I realized that it was most likely closer to 13+ miles.
With a couple of stops I made it back to my normal turn spot and stopped. All of a sudden my back started being stiff. My right knee kept feeling funny. After a couple of attempts to resume I just gave up.
What was suppose to be a fun distance run turned into a grueling 4 mile walk back to home. It was frustrating to know that I should resume but my mind decided otherwise. I don't know if my mind just simply decided I was not ready for 13 or it just didn't feel like it.
As the old saying goes, " A mind is a terrible master". Today it got the best of me.
Today's question is:
"How do you do something else then what your mind tells you to do?"
