A wish for you...

I am hanging out tonight, visiting with runners and had a chance to read Back of the Pack's post on her wish for runners.   It was such a fabulous wish, that I thought I would pass it along to you.   I can't think of a nicer thought to start the week off with....

This is what I wish for each of you:

My hope for you is that the runs you have to grind through are few and far between. I am certain that running should be a joy - a symphony of movement...breathing in and out, muscles flexing and contracting, legs pumping, eyes searching the path ahead and heart singing. Most of all, to feel that triad of mind-body-spirit coming together...that's what most runs should be, and that is my hope for you. And even on the days when it feels like a grind, at the end, when it's all over and the body drops into relaxation, I hope you discover that it happened - maybe in a very small way - but it always happens - that the triad emerged...the mind is clearer, the body feels challenged and the spirit is lifted. That is my hope for you.

Wow, I feel honored that you would use my words in your post! Thanks for stopping by and reading. It's so hard to explain what running feels like - good, bad or ugly, all runs give us something, and I find I always feel better after a run!
