Perceptions

Something occurred to me this morning during my morning run that I felt somewhat relevant to many of us.
You see, this morning I felt, or rather I felt or perceived that my body felt better or more fit and even a little more loose than on a previous run. The last time I has headed out the door I felt stiff despite a good warm up.
Regardless of my “feelings” or perceptions as I watched my wristwatch my times around the track did not vary enough to make any real difference. I recalled years ago when I did run a LOT (I was fairly serious, putting in close to 40 to 50 miles in a week.) and I remembered the same phenomenon. Despite what I felt that “feeling” was rarely reflected in my time. In fact there were times when I felt like crap that I put in my best times and instances when I “felt” great and would put in one of my worst workouts!
