Singular focus

 Morning 7:30 am

Location: Gym

As I ramped the speed  from 7 kmph to 13 Kmph on the treadmill,

I start running fast  so not to fall-off๐Ÿ˜€

And after 2 minutes of running at 13 Kmph,

I am about to lose breathe,

Heart is pumping,

And body wants to stop,

Mind wants to continue 

 I cannot think of anything else

Except to continue running  for next 30 secs!

Those 30 seconds though seem like eternity

And then after 30 seconds  , the longest 30 seconds of my life!

I ramp down treadmill speed back to 7 kmph

As I am gasping for breathe while walking

I notice a welcome change!

My mind is cleared of fuzziness 

All the morning's thoughts and imaginations and worries seem silly

 I am set for the day!

Feeling like bouncing with energy

As if there is a spring in my feet!

I feel like Richard Jefferies experience after climbing the morning hill : (as written in his autobiography "The Story of my Heart")

By the time I had reached the summit I had entirely forgotten the petty circumstances and the annoyances of existence. I felt myself, myself
