Inside the Mind of a Runner - Running Motivation

[Music] I can't pinpoint what's uncomfortable everything just sort of hurts almost hovering over me as I attempt to move forward into the desert the problem seems to be some combination of the present in the future because sure each each step it tests my core my knees my ankles my back but worse than that worse than the physical pain is the fear of what this discomfort will be at home because if I'm suffering now imagine imagine five ten or twenty miles from now I can go 15 seconds anyone can go 15 seconds but what if it

becomes more than I can bear see nothing scarier than the road ahead it may just be what does me and tolerable now always right right bruised or maybe maybe worse I don't know but lean left adjust yeah just like this that alleviates the problem at least for now it alleviates the problem I can move forward having it's the downhill the downhill puts pressure on the knee sweeps pain towards the shin so will slow down slow here we'll catch them on the uphill that's where we'll make our move slow down fast up equals less pain equals

manageable death progression this is 100 percent doable not rocket science with the arranging the pieces pain in the stomach has anyone ever died from an upset stomach probably will you probably not you're not stuck you're just scared see running while feeling nauseous never put some on the front page of the New York Times what types of stories are you writing no victim stop casting yourself as a victim this is small this is nothing this is trivial piece find her rhythm you're overthinking again this is not complex there's nothing to be discovered here this is the

easiest thing in the world one foot in front of the other again and again guess how much thought that requires you guessed it but zero your foot matters not your knees are of no relevance why are you creating monsters all the Sun it's the Sun you're a hot well you can cry or get to the destination with intent stop rationalizing [Applause] I don't create reasons to stop it's like well it's like they don't exist most accomplishments most receipts require a positive narrative and uplifting storyline this seems different this requires nothing not a thing I have

right now and well it looks like we can always handle right now can't wait to win nascent resistance its cooling me off in the Sun it's not a barrier it's like the discomfort is not an enemy it's a passenger and we're all going one way forward do not think about the road ahead count seconds count steps how breaths preoccupy the mind because the reality is at some point I will get where I'm going that is fact and the only way to lose is to manufacture future monsters and bow down to them before I arrive I

can always defeat them now my feet write this story they hold the pen and once I arrive only that we'll enjoy the ending see that wasn't so bad was it
