Notes
I was running at 7:30 am with the clock change whereas it would have been 8:30 just about yesterday in very mild weather conditions. It was 0 temperatures 10 days ago and today 12 C right at am hours. Crazy really as no-one knows what to anticipate with weather nowadays. Anyway CS likes mild conditions and I am more than happy.
This was another beautiful run. No CS but just a slight pressure on the same spot of the right leg. Between my Greek music, 'For your Love' by Stevie, Loreena and lovely MJ music I was running with my soul. At some point I took notice of this beautiful big bird hovering and balancing in the mild soft wind and I thought this is what I should be doing........Chi Running as Chi Flying.......run smoothly from the core and allow the legs rhythmically to turn while the arms turning in a rotating motion without any effort. It was majestic watching the bird above me almost running and flying on the spot. Time had stopped. I was experiencing what JK says, not thinking, not living in conflict and worry about CS, just observing and being observed. The beautiful moment of mindful running from the Inside. On a Sunday morning when all others were in their bed after possibly a late night out on a Saturday night there I was hovering on the beautiful hills of D & Galloway alongside the beautiful bird. What else could I have asked?
Qualty & Effort in today's run almost became equalizers. Getting better with time. The New Balance 758 proves to be a great shoe. New Balance is the one and only to accommodate my foot. No issues with bunion and pressure. Now I will have to re-consider whether I will stay with Saucony or not.
