Suddenly my office building was up ahead.  I was almost to my destination and had no recollection as to how I had arrived.  Of course I had driven but I can honestly say I do not recall the actual operating of the vehicle.  I am sure almost anyone who has had their licesnse for over a year has done this.  Especially if you take a similar route each day. 

This scenario happened to me while running.  I was suddenly brought out of my jogging trance by a dog flying towards a fence.  (fortunately the animal was on the other side of the fence!)  Before my furry friend scared the shit out of me, I  was approaching my third mile and was not aware I was running.   What a great feeling!  There are times I seem to feel each foot step, count every tenth of a mile.  Times when I am looking  forward to making it to three miles so that I can STOP.  Not on this particular day.  It was then I came to the conclusion that they are my favorite jogs.  The times when my body knows what to do and where to go and my mind just thinks about a million other things that need to be accomplished upon my return home.  I am happiest at the end of these exercise sessions because I do not feel as if I had exercised at all.  I feel as if I have cleaned out the cobwebs in my overloaded brain and am ready for anything.  I feel young, energized, stress free!  These are the times I absolutely love to exercise, times when I do feel athletic (cause you know I am not!)  I look forward to this evening and I hope to have another one of my favorite runs.
