Overthinking beyond the possible

October 7, 2012 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Chilly and wet

Comments:
Ran alone today, just an easy run since coach wanted a 15% taper from last week. A little over but that's okay. Felt alright, just a little overwhelmed at the moment. Ran with headphones for the first time ever, which was fun and got me pumped and maybe a little overambitious. Hopefully once mileage goes up after Oberlin I'll feel a little more like my normal self. Talked with Ben in the locker room while I semi stretched... I feel bad because I think too far ahead and don't focus on the here and now enough, so I have a tendency to make plans far too distant in the future to be realistic because so many things could happen between now and whenever it is I'm thinking about at the moment. Anyway, Ben was really gracious and just let me talk and get my thoughts out before sharing his opinions. I really just need to get onto the course at Oberlin and leave everything I have on it. Talk is nice but gets you nowhere without being honest with yourself, and I need to get an unbiased evaluation of where I'm at. Hopefully this weekend will give me a chance to do that. No excuses for me.
