My goal this year is to run. A lot. Lots of races and lots of miles. Yet more so my goal is to run with grace and follow the Vedic law of least effort. To watch some people run it seems they are locked into a life and death struggle with their own stride, their own body and their own soul and emotions. And this is just a "training" run and not even a race. My goal is to embrace the expereince of running and not fight the struggle - but to accept, detach and continue. To run with the elements and not against them. To acknowledge pain yet not be defeated. To run with joy through all moments and be released from expectations. Tall order? Maybe. But I think it may be easier than it sounds and the answer lies in the moment by moment acceptence of what is now and then a quick release to the emptiness of what may be - the promise new possibilities. Repeat as needed. It's the plan of "no plan" and the simple patteren of a single step oft repeated.
Good luck to all runners - whether it be by feet or spirit.
