Day 3060 —Watching my Heart Rate— with a PICTURE of a green PLANT next to a dirt PATH

 When I stopped for moment to take a picture my heart rate went down quickly to 80 but running slow only made moderate improvement on my heart rate. I had a bunch of things on my mind for this week, but instead I focused on what was in front of my run and me.

         I noticed my heart rate creeping over 150 and I forced myself to slow down. It did not stay low for long because I started thinking more about everything I have to do today, and I was all worked up feeling as if I do not have enough time to do everything. I need to stay focused on the moment and enjoy my run, which is becoming increasingly more and more difficult.
