Notes
3rd in Stoupa on Thurs 10th May 2012-05-11
An almost 8 mile run around the Stoupa Village and toward Agios Dimitris along the coast line. Once I run there with Franc 5 yrs ago. It felt unreal. So many memories to treasure from the past but it is the present now that counts. Things are tough in Greek land and no matter where one is can experience directly the hardship for all the it’s people. People have lost faith and hope and it will never be the same again. It will take now more than one SK to make things right. All things come to mind when running and I feel free but I have pain for my people.
It was just about sunset when I was just about to finish the run. Amazing scenery everywhere and amazing beam of light. I managed to sleep 2 hrs this afternoon before going out to run and this make all the difference. My body absorbs all the opportunities for physical recovery along with the emotional and mental. It is more than Good ........It is Great.
I run a strong pace and when entered the village bay Vangelis and Panos shouted out my name. Vangelis later on noted how fast I was running. It must have been the soul rather than the mind. I was feeling great despite the great heat that had accumulated at the end of the day. I drank a whole bottle of water on the move. I wanted to drink for the rest of the evening and night. So thirsty. This was my first great run without effort in Stoupa. Amazing grace.
