Notes

This was an amazingly motivated and also insightful run. Initially Susan's writings/MR and Coach's BM start for the year excited me big time. I then watched Evgenia's Skating competition Video Clip 5 times. This girl inspired me to extremes. It was the music, the choreography, her passion and determination and I took so much pride watching my 'swan' skating. I could not take any more so I had to get out there and become one with this amazing feeling. I had not even considered running today. I had actually made the remark to Franc that this was going to be a day off due to recent probs with my gluts and difficulties I have been experiencing. I dismissed it All and went out there to make the most of what I could. I had to.

Then All fell into place. I went into a zone whereas I could only find God's presence, SK, images, music tunes and visions from past and future. It was amazing. At some point I could see the birds on the sky creating formations to emigrate and fly away. It was amazing moment as I was running below 100's and 100s of geese (I think) and watching their flight while heavy rain was soaking my entire body and making me my running shoes so heavy and cold. But nothing matter absolutely nothing as I was smiling inside with bliss and happiness. Nothing could hurt and I never doubt for a minute that things would go wrong. I had made my mind up to do this wonderful 14 mile loop up the steep hills of D & G. I met plenty of wild life and in particular 2 beautiful red squirrels and of course plenty of horses wearing their coats due to the winter weather. Very few cars on the way and very few people. They seem to be recovering from the New Year's misgivings, I thought (much food and drink). I felt free, I felt contended and blessed. Body did feel tight on several occasions but did not have time to waste in negative thoughts. I had to get going and remain positive. This is my first 14 miler in ages. This 14 miler felt easy today. I still cannot explain how can I say this but I can just not be able to recall what I saw for last 5 miles. It was almost felt as I had been injected with a 'drug' but I knew in my heart that it was my soul and mind that made todays' run to be so great.

Once again I was thanking God for allowing to experience these feelings. It was an amazing experience.
