Mind over Matter

Ran 1 mile in 9 min.

I really wanted to try and run a mile in 8 minutes . Now here is the strange thing. When I research how fast you have to run to complete a mile in 8 minutes it says you have to run a speed of 7.5 mph. If you want to run a mile in 9 minutes you have to run at 6.7 mph.  This is where I am thrown because I ran at 6 mph and finished a mile in 9 minutes.... It was on the treadmill so maybe the speed on my is different? Like if it says 6 mph maybe I am going faster?  I don't know. I just know what my treadmill said, and I will stick with it. Regardless it felt great. I enjoyed the burn , the pressure, the competition against myself and against time. I saw this picture
it's not a deep thought, and it's not something we all haven't heard before, Mind over Matter. How many times have we defeated ourselves because mentally we just gave up, maybe never even started? I need to remind myself of this, I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Mind over Matter.
