The reduction of self can be a handy tool for ultrarunners. I don't mean physical weight loss (although I'm certain that may be helpful to some) but the reduction of self involvement and how it can weigh heavy on our performance. Imagine if we ran purposely solely for the enjoyment of feeling the miles pass and scenery change. No other reason to run than to run. We let the finish come when our steps take us there and not a moment sooner - no projection to when this may pass. This is running with spirit. It's a possibility. In letting go of my self - I strive for it.
Peace,
Eric
