...for “Me” time
It is becoming increasingly difficult in life to have time to ourselves to think, reflect or completely switch off. We are overwhelmed. Often this is forced upon us by the challenges of juggling work and friends and family. At other times, the predicament is entirely self-inflicted. We simply can’t seem to resist the urge to reach for our digital gadget to fill any sliver of idle time that comes our way, be it sitting in the restroom, waiting at the bus-stop or grabbing a coffee. Running provides that rare avenue by which we can totally remove ourselves from life’s many, many distractions and truly have time for our minds to either roam wild or do absolutely nothing. No email notifications to divert attention, no phone calls to answer, no screaming children to attend to, no nagging bosses. Just the sound of our feet pounding the pavement as a backdrop to our thoughts pondering the possibilities. This is why I run. To divorce myself from the pressures of life, for true peace of mind, however brief -and sweaty it might be.
