PHEW!!!!!!!!!!
So, I’m half way there.
Compared with when I started this venture, I feel terrific.
What comes with running comes experience and physical adaptation. Along the way
you learn – from other runners, trial-and-error with your technique and even
reading blogs, hear quotes or whatever and all of these experiences contribute to
a runner’s development.
For example, a couple of days ago I was reading the blog of
Anton Krupicka – trails running legend (see attached link) and on the blog was
one of my favourite quotes I first read reading “On the Run”. It’s a quote from
the book of Lieh-Tzu that states –
“ The ideal in the
Lieh-Tzu is a state, not a withdrawal, but of heightened perceptiveness and
responsiveness in an undifferentiated World. My Mind concentrated and body
relaxed, bones and flesh fused completely, I drifted with the wind East or West,
Like a leaf from a tree or a dry husk, and never knew whether it was the wind
that rode me or a rode the wind”
The quote really made me focus on relaxing my body. How this
helps is that the absorption of forces improves and it reduces the tension in
your joints; lessening chances of injury and makes running so much fun.
Anyways, the times for the last four days are as follows:
Day 22 – 3:40
Day 23 – 3:41
Day 24 – 3:47
Day 25 – 3:44
