Engaging and Disengaged Athletes

Stephanie Coontz: Expectation is the killer of joy. She says we have to stop seeing running as a threat and enjoy it. When you're new to something, she says, get into an "exploratory mind set" To do this, don't look at your watch until you've run 50 laps or more. It can be done with any kind of time-lapse device like a 30 dollar timx watch.
