Workout Details: - What run did you do?  I did a five mile run with 5:00 minute intervals alternating RPE 7 and 5 - What was your goal for this session? The goal today was really just to run. I’m still in recovery mode from Chattanooga before getting back to formal training for the late summer races. Part 1: Reading After the Run 1. Pull out one sentence or passage from today's reading that stood out to you. Write it here: What I mean is, I didn’t start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. Just like I didn’t become a novelist because someone asked me to. One day, out of the blue, I wanted to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run—simply because I wanted to.

Part 2: Carving Space During today's run, what quality of presence emerged that doesn't exist in other parts of your day? What made this possible? When I was running I was just running. Yeah, my mind was going 100 MPH in eight directions at once as usual, or trying to anyway. But I can always bring it back to just focusing on the run. This is possible because it’s just me and the pavement. Identify three specific areas of your life that are crowded with noise, urgency, or distraction. What's the cost of this crowding? Work. And honestly that’s the only one that comes to mind. The cost, because it’s such a major piece of my life, is that it bleeds over into everything else. For one of these areas, describe what it would look and feel like if you carved deliberate space within it—the same quality of space you experience during your runs:
