Running shuts down the monkeys. Today I ran 19 miles in preparation for Boston. Somewhere around mile 12 I got really focused. What a feeling. It took almost 2 hours of continuous exercise but my mind did settle down into a single groove.
Most days it only takes about 15 minutes of exercise to find that groove - today was a bit extereme. I attribute this to the 3 days I took off from running in preps for this 19 mile run.
Ahhh... The things I commit to and how they occupy my mind.
Anywho, I'll be running Boston again this year and am rasing money for the Enter Stage Left theater in Hopkinton. If you want to make a donation, email me or contact them directly! They have a great theater with many very involved kids What a fine way to get kids started in life - a healthy sense of community.
