breathing

Amanda wasn't feeling it this morning so I ran alone in the 'hood.  For some reason it's psychologically difficult for me to look forward to heading out the front door for a run.  I've always kind of been like that.   Looking back to '86 when I first really started running as an adult I would much rather have made the drive to McAlister Park (it wasn't much of a drive) as run from my apartment even then.  So when Amanda bailed on me this morning my first instinct was to go right back to bed but I didn't.  I got dressed and got out in the cold and got in 5 miles.

Mark L has told me on several occasions about his working on the proper breathing technique and how much it's helped his running.  After I got going this morning I figured I'd give it a try and wow did it ever work.  It's pretty strange running along and actually focusing on the proper breathing technique but I can definitely say that it worked.  I'm definitely sold and am going to practice it during my workday from now on!!
