The music/running phenomenon
I have a naive belief that everything happens for a reason. Now I won't go into the deep philosophical God/universe/meaning of life portion of my belief; no I'm going to keep this discussion strictly to the music and my running experiences. I have found that every time I go for a run, no mater the length or difficulty, the music selection always seems to fit perfectly. Sometimes it's a predesigned playlist, other times an album, and sometime just a random shuffle, but no matter the selection I find that it fits perfectly into the run I'm on. The ebb and flow of the music matches my physical rhythms and feeds my mental, emotional, and spiritual tones as well. My greatest enjoyment though is when the music pushes me to go harder better faster stronger; almost as if it's my unseen coach, knowing what I need and when I really need it. Now again I know that this is a naive thought, to think the music was meant to be played at that exact time just for that run, but a thought that serves to fuel my belief that there is something greater than us, a purpose for everything, a fate that is beyond our comprehension; like it's all supposed to happen for a reason. Now I'm not saying that the music/running sync proves anything to the aforesaid but I will say this; I love that my music and running are in stride together...
