This is where you will win the battle — in the playhouse of your mind. –Maxwell Maltz
I often think about this quote while running. I find times that I stop running around mile 3 and am not sure why. Mostly, I find that I am bored or my head is just blank. Running is a great way to build up mental toughness and work out the issues of the day. When I stop running, I don’t find that my legs are tired or I hurt, it’s more just my mind wandering.
Noticing this is the first step to solving the problem.
So what you’re saying is that you have 3 miles worth of thoughts? I know that’s not true. 🙂 Maybe you get all interested in doing something about whatever it is you’re thinking and want to stop running in order to get it done. (???)
Btw, it takes too long to create a login to comment here. You should allow anonymous comments so it’s a shorter process for the commenter.
Whatcha think?
Not sure if I have just 3 miles of thoughts … I agree that it may be I have an idea and I want to work on it right away. I’m big into being in efficient and while you’re running all you can do is run. Which has its good and bad.

I agree with Max. It’s all in your head. You ran a half on little training. You just have to train your brain too!
