Our thoughts affirm our reality - every step is an affirmation of existence between ground and runner. We believe in the solidity of ourselves and the earth. We think it so. And yet the world is malleable - nothing is solid and everything holds the potential for re-creation. We believe it so. Running is the landscape of mind projected to our steps - we create pleasure and pain in artful wonder. We are free to create something new - anytime, with every step. With every thought - we affirm it so.
Peace,

Affirmations are a wonderful tool for runners - and yet they can also be wielded in ways that create a less than joyful experience. Listen to fellow runners (or ourselves) during the next race - we create painful steps and agonizing hills with affirmations on how the run has yet to even unfold. We have created the inner environment for our suffering. We can affirm anew though - we are able to re-create the world with a more enlightened view of tired steps and steep hills. In fact our training is affirmation of faith that we are quite capable of meeting these challenges. Affirm this truth - I am Light, and Pure Motion and Create challenges for the sheer Pleasure of their Completion. And so it is.
