Fearless

My thoughts are turning to how much I can leave behind on the trail for my upcoming 100 - how much of myself can I surrender and run free of ego or concern of self? I don't mean taking my health for granted and taking unnecessary risk - but of running without the care of results other then being immersed in motion and the moment. The best race is when there is no opponent - not even ourselves. Competition is left behind for self exploration. When Steve Prefontain raced you could tell that there was little of him left in that moment - sure when the race was over ego may have come back into play along with the concern for placement and results. Yet in that magical moment when he gave all of himself to motion -there was no ego - he had burned it in a fiery sacrifice of self. He was also fearless. That's my question - can I be fearless, can I give myself away? I don't know. But I plan to find out.





Peace,
Eric
