The Power of Running

IMG_0424

I am a runner who runs religiously 6 days a week. I log between 40-50 miles per week. I see all types of runners. Running is nonjudgemental. If you pay attention and really listen carefully, running will point out that area in your life that needs your attention, whether it is your mind, body or soul. Running is that powerful. It is unlike any other activity. When I did the Boston to New York AIDS II bike ride back in 1996, at any given moment you could be riding next to a brain surgeon or an artist or a general laborer. There was such a togetherness, a oneness. That unity was beautiful and powerful. Running provides that every time you lace up and go out the door. When you pass another runner you are one. There is nothing more invigorating than a hot, sunny and somewhat breezy run along the river. The sun rays, drop of sweat, racy thought are unique in themselves. That’s because each moment is never the same. Running is in a constant state of change, just like life. So change what you seek and you will seek what you change. When you run, you change and almost always emerge stronger and wiser. Namaste! The moon is in Capricorn, northern hemisphere, splash pattern. Pay attention to life. Enjoy!☮️
