I got really freaked out during this run. There was a point, at about mile three, when I was sure that despite my efforts I really wasn't moving and time was not moving forward. It was the sense of being stuck, running forever.
It is so strange how time is fluid. It can move incredibly slowly or incredibly quickly, depending on our perception. As a performer I am aware of the tricks time can play. When our nervous system is heightened (which is what happens when we are nervous) we become extra sensitive to everything around us. Everything is peaked. So time is perceived to be moving much quicker then it is. This is why so many performances are rushed.
I was pleased with the speed in which I ran. By the time I got home I was exhausted. I also felt sick. I was worried I was going to toss my cookies. but alas, I did not.
Go you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the eight miles were even better than the three. I think you are getting stronger, though not pain free.
