I was wrong about the slow song...

When you run more and when you run longer, the slow song is actually a boon. It sets the rythm.
It's always nice to start a run with a song that has a good steady beat, because that sets the pace. But when you have the music player on shuffle, it's going to throw you a slow number from time to time. You take it as you get it...
Esepcially when you hit the wall, the slow number can be annoying. You're already in deadbeat mode and your entire body is screaming for you to stop. And along comes this slow song. Hopefully, you are not running uphill at that point...
This is the point where rhythm kicks in. Every song, fast or slow, has a rhtyhm. It may not have heavy or even steady beats that you can pump your feet in line with, but if you listen carefully, even the slow song has a rhythm. And it is right then that you start moving your feet to that rhythm...
You choose the pace. You could take one step to every rhythmic count of the song or you could take two. Of course, if you have hit the wall at this point, more often than not, you are only going to take one. But that in itself can be fun...
Pick up the rhythm of the song and start pumping your feet to it. Keep doing it consciously for a little bit. Soon you will realise you are not just stepping to the beat, you are actually dancing on the road. It seems silly. But take it in, enjoy it. The fun has just begun...
It's good to hit the wall. Especially when you start pushing yourself to run greater distances, the wall is a chance to slow down, take a deep breath, recollect yourself and get ready for the distance ahead. To set the rhythm...
Because, when you hit the homestretch, you have a choice. If the music stays slow, the rhythm will guide you. Or if the music picks up pace, you can kick it up a notch too...
I love you Usain Bolt. I can't stop watching the replays of your 100, 200 and 4 x 100 relay at London 2012. I especially love the way you do the cross, kiss your finger and then threaten God before every single race...
But Life is a Marathon. And to Keep Running, You need Rhythm...
