Just breathe and enjoy the road!

Breathing - something so simple and so innate to our body and yet, we often neglect to breathe well. I am not the master of it - nowhere close, in fact it is something I am working on. I have yet to set a rhythm with my running and breathing. I ran-walked a mile and a half yesterday and realized that I barely breathe in the beginning and get out of breath really quickly (duh!). I guess I try to run at a pace that I think I should be running at, not what I feel I should be running at. Breathing (well) helps with pacing yourself and even though I am nowhere close to being able to run long distances, it is something to look forward to.

At this time last year during Basecamp, I had thought I had the hang of being a first year MBA student. Please know that classes will hit you like a slap in the face and there is no rhythm or pace to those first two minis, and yet you will establish one of your own by the end. The main thing to do is take a deep breath and realize that we all have our unique pacing and that keeping up with the outside standards will be a challenge sometimes.

Bottom Line: Breathing makes you stick to your own rhythm, and of course, keeps you alive.
