as I noted in my 10k post, I've started breathing only through my nose when running, unless it's the last little bit of a long run or race. it's working amazingly well, keeps me very self-aware of my body, and also helps me slip into 'the zone' a lot faster. and stay there! so much of my motivation challenge is the brain-chatter, and quieting it seems difficult. i've never really tried meditation, which my landlord suggested today as it's his favorite way to talk to God. i do pray sometimes when running, and it helps get my mind away from 'stuff' but it inevitably heads back that direction.
so far so good! and i've also stopped wearing my ankle brace some of the time, and it feels like it's making it stronger on it's own. one less thing to wear!
