4 miles

We had our 2nd group run yesterday. thankfully, it was after the freakin monsoon passed. This time we did 4 miles on the bike path. We have a section right across from the dojo that has been measured at 1/2 mile, so up and back is 1 mile and we do that 4 times. I don't know how, but i did it without any walking. Actually, i do know how- i set short term goals and it really works. That and good music on the mp3 player. Next week during Fun week i'm hoping to go to a ninjutsu seminar on thursday night. There will be star throwing and blow darts. COOL!

The short term goal trick really works, as well as "tricking" yourself. "As soon as I run for the rest of this song, I'll let myself walk..." then the song finishes, and don't walk, and then you say, "No, as soon as THIS song ends, THEN I can walk..." I'ts all about the mind game.

Supposedly,there's a good deal of mysticism in ninjutsu (ninpo): reading the thoughts of an enemy, seeing auras, etc. That sounds like more fun than the throwing stars or darts (and safer!)

Beth- that is it! its kind of weird to trick your own mind, though. i feel like i have a split personality. we need to get together for another run soon! maybe after this HHH crap passes.

Ok, not that it is any of my business, but I am kinda confused. There is "Red" AND "Sheila" posting. Who is who? Cuz I am thinking that maybe Red is Joan cuz Red mentions Lauren. Hmmm... just call me Nancy Drew....

Sorry Nancy- nope. I'll email you.
