It's amazing what goes through your head as you run. Good thoughts, bad thoughts, why am I doing this?
I find parts of my other runs going through my head as I run, bits and pieces of the favorite locations that I have run. Scenes from the city or the difficulty of a hill I've had to climb.
People say running is 90% mental. I know that to be true, especially when I'm feeling tired and my brain is saying, no, you can't do this. You're too old. Your feet hurt. Your knee hurts. Your back hurts. But other thoughts, like being in the best shape of your life, or at least striving to get there.
Running is truly a mental game. Hopefully some of my mental toughness in running will rub off on other areas of my life.
