(shameless self-promotional plug!)<br /><br />There's a state that we can find ourselves in where the mind and body become a single functioning unit, and we just roll. Call it whatever you like (flow, being in the zone, etc.), but the experience is the same.<br /><br />Running provides us with an opportunity to connect mind and body in a substantial way, one that provides instant feedback from our actions and decisions.<br /><br />It's about purpose, in my experience. Having that goal, that sense of purpose to your activity, increases your ability to enter this state. Without a purpose, you're just plodding along.Scout7https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719913257786053421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196651674832836865.post-68379573342524924822011-11-26T17:35:03.849-06:002011-11-26T17:35:03.849-06:00Thanks for reading, Joe.

It definitely brings more attention to the process rather than just the instant gratification of say buying a cup ready made.Joe Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090491111048219295noreply@blogger.com
