I had a really refreshing run. I am concentrating on simply enjoying running. Running can be a process of meditation, of letting go of stress, and of deep relaxation. Being outdoors is a plus as well. Running is a spiritual exercise; speed can come as a by product of relaxation. While my goal is to achieve a better time, I am always focused on relaxing and being aware as I run.

What are you a professor of (and at what school if you are willing to disclose)? My hubby is a professor in Information Systems at BYU. My husband works out research issues in his head as he runs. I wouldn't say I meditate, but it does provide quite a bit of stress relief. So I assume the Shamrock marathon is in mid-March?
