Focused focused FOCUSED!

Little wonder how small things can get us sidetrack at times ya? I guessed I have always been a focused young punk.. Haha I hoped. I shall remain oblivious to my surroundings and concentrate on my mocks for now.. Sounds like a puglistic hero huh? I remembered during mocks in my year one, I will study at home and will go jogging in the evenings to unwind. I like the wind against my face, I like to jog when I am fustrated, I like to push my own body, I like to have the chance to see if any chiobus are also jogging. I always feel that jogging is not plain running, theres more to it, looking at your serene surroundings, taking a deeeeeep breath and taking the first step to start running,you are so in tune and sync with it, and of course a sense of accomplishment and joy upon finishing your intended distance =), I just lovee it. I guess most joggers are turning their internal feelings to fuel their running on the tracks. Here's some quotes from some runners and coaches..

"Mind is everything, muscles pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind"
- Paavo Nurmi

"The body does not want you to do this. As you run it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy... It is not age not diet. It is the will to succeed."
-Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston marathon Champ

"Good things come slow, especially in distance running."
-Bill Dellinger, Oregon coach

I have been slacking for too long.. I guess is time to get back on track. Sigh...
