Reality check: sometimes I think I push myself too hard with the running and create a hypercompetitive mindset that is counterproductive. Ie, if I don't run 15 miles hard at tempo pace then it's nothing. This is a bad attitude. No one is superhuman and no one can keep up day after day of pounding hard workouts. It's not physically or mentally healthy.
Today I ran an easy 6 miles at the park, without my ipod or music, at a relaxed pace, and just watched the rabbits and birds and sunset and listened to the trees sway in the breeze. Just for the joy of running. It was great.
