15k on Saturday mid day. Nothing on Friday. Unfortunately I developed a case of the week kneed namby pamby on Friday. Thursday night I felt myself starting to get a stuffy nose and definitely felt not great during my 10 a.m. class on Friday. I intended to go back to the hours, rest for a bit and then run, instead I slept 3 hours. Not sure if it is tiredness, or illness, or being rundown. Who knows. No views, lets try that.
Today I went 15k. Not bad, pleasant around the usual new course. Focused pretty good on my foot plant but it really is noticeable how quickly you can get out of good foot work in just one step, especially if you change stride pattern to turn or go over a curb or move left or right. This form of meditation has been quite helpful over the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I did not stay in the now and decided to wonder how long it would be like this before it was automatic, I got my answer, not now, because I was running like a duck within two seconds of having the thought. Always nice to be reminded of the importance of right mindfulness in the eightfold path.
Sunday tomorrow, I'm writing these two reports from China this weekend, so it will be good to run tomorrow. Stay in the now.
Not a bad week, 15k 5 times. Wanted 6 times but that is craving and grasping. Can only try again next week.
