Mid day, 15km, woke late, read the news, had a cup of coffee, went for a run.
This cold is working me over pretty good, but I feel really good after I finish the runs, it has always been this way for me, running makes me feel better physically.
It rained pretty hard last night and it rained today in the a.m. (I was sleeping) and there were light sprinkles a couple of times during the run. The last mile however was in hard rain and of course something to enjoy. But also remember that it doesn't last and if you are still running when the rain stops there is a goo chance there will be some suffering. Nothing is permanent.
Worked hard on managing the foot plant and again felt like it was pretty good. No real view, just assessment that I was mindful of my foot plant, especially the left foot, the entirety of the run. The other part of today's mindfulness was on impermanence. It is fall now, the leaves are turning, the different colors remind me that 30 days ago everything was very green as a result of rain; now everything is turning colors as a result of changes in the temperature. Nothing stays the same, thinking that it will only causes suffering. It seems so brutal, but so truthful, some say negative, however, I'm coming to believe that it is neither negative or brutal, it just is.
