The Start of the Long Run

This is my first posting on a blog outside of tumblr and I am so excited to start. I'm an amateur athlete doing all my training and nutrition on my own (with the help of Google). Currently I am on break from college, where I am majoring in Philosophy and Anthropology. I am using my break as a jump-start for my training program, lots of long runs with short speed days.

In addition to training my body, I am spending a large portion of break training my mind. I've had several "watch-less" runs to build mental toughness. I struggle with this a lot, but it'll help in the long run. I am also cleansing my mind with lots and lots of yoga and meditation. Yoga has always been a source of solace for me, it's quiet and peaceful and introspective. When you grow up in a house full of seven people and four dogs you learn to appreciate small moments of silence.
