Just back from a lovely 5-mile lunchtime run. Today's run was especially sweet for me. I have been treating patellar tendonitis in my right knee for the last 3 months. Today's run was the best run I've had in a long time. I owe it all to Terrel Hale of Georgetown Sports Therapy. His deep, deep tissue massage changed everything.
Today's run also made me realize how grateful I am for the ability to run one more day. There were moments in the run when my mind and my body were at war. My body wanted to back off the pace. But my mind kept focusing on the pure pleasure of running, and viola! -- that changed everything.
Running is a lot like life. When you find yourself going through a challenge, try changing your mental response to the problem. Start viewing your obstacles as opportunties to become better, faster, and stronger.
Namaste.
