When the mind wants what the body cannot yet have...Having a sinus infection and bi-lateral ear infection for the past 10 days has brought me much anxiety as it relates to my morning routine. I have been unable to run since last Sunday, April 17th due to the 2 infections my body is trying to deal with! The prospect of not running for a 11th straight day is really bothering me! I love running for many reasons. It keeps me physically healthy and it's also become, over time...a spiritual act. My body is not ready to get back to it but my mind is. I don't want to attempt to run and do something that might keep me from running longer than I've been idle! This sucks!!! My body wants...and needs rest...but my mind wants to run...there's a Zen koan in here somewhere...I can feel it!
