Taking a few days off on writing of the Tao of Distance running to experience the Tao itself - no better place than the Mohican Trail and the Forget The PR 50k. With 4000 feet of elevation gain, a major river crossing and numerous streams this will be the ideal place to surrender to the surroundings and the experience itself - to simply allow the event to unfold and choose peace in every moment. During a tough 24 Hour race last month I was able to put many of these thoughts into practice and it turned the race around for me. I hope to begin the day tomorrow grateful for what it offers and carry this gratitude throughout the race. I'm sure my mind may wander from this path - but I am heartened in the knowing that I can always choose to find my peaceful steps once more.
Peace,
Eric
