Thoughts While Running: #1

in life •  7 years ago 

A little insight into my mind while I was running a couple miles this morning.

Didn't really want to run. First five minutes of running always suck.

Starting thinking about Steemit... maybe I'll start a post about the things I think about while running? I'm no blogger, and this is all new territory for me; It'd at least be an easy way to give me a daily topic to help get in the habit of posting things, while increasing motivation to run everyday: win-win!

Format - I'm thinking slightly modified stream of consciousness style, state things as they entered my mind. At least the ones I remember once I write it.

Decided not be insecure about appeal of posted content - I know it's not a flashy topic or presentation, but I think it'd be beneficial for me. Actively cataloguing my thoughts will in the end help me focus and gain mental traction.

Running feels great! Why do I always think the beginning is so terrible?

Is there anything better than the smell of freshly cut grass in the summer? I should appreciate the sense of smell more often.

Realized how glad I was I cut my hair this weekend. That breeze felt so good. Think I might have gotten sunburnt on my newly exposed forehead though.

Got to the sidewalk, and an older couple on a tandem bike rode past me while blaring some classic rock. Didn't expect to see that. Surprised by how much the doppler effect changed the pitch of the song. Started thinking about the doppler effect... isn't that how we know the universe is expanding? The red shift? How do electromagnetic waves change in frequency due to movement? How do photons operate in an EM wave? (If anyone knows the answer to these questions please comment!)

Well, that's all that I can remember. We'll see how this posting series turns out. Thanks to anyone who feels the urge to read this, and please chime in!

Your descriptive slice of life commentary made me feel like I went on that run with ya. Keep up the dailies! Also, sorry I can't help you on the doppler effect / universe expanding mystery.
