While reading the postings of the lurkers, which I do as I listen to the sound of one foot running, I realise that there is still much negative karama out there. Accordingly I shall now be spreading good karma twice a day.
Today’s words of wisdom come again from Swami Stillone:
ooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm
Pain is just weakness saying adios to the body.
ooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm
don't ask what you can do for your legs,
ask what your legs can do for you.
<<<Ooooommmm, K'Ching>>>
Well My Precious Ones, once upon a time Sri Swami NewRunningGuru was running his normal idyllic route at 70%NHR when he came across a beautiful lycra'ed lady in distress.
He stopped and bent to her aid, "O My good Lady, why the tears?", he questioned.
"O Swami NRG, my feet hurt!", she cried. "They sting as if I'm walking on broken glass!".
"My lovely dear, I can see why. Please dry the tears and stop those Eurhythmics now. You should not run in those clunky Kayanos. Take your shoes off", he commanded. She complied.
"Now my lovely dear, follow my lead". At which point, My Precious Ones, Sri NRG adopted the Running Pose of Dr Romanov.
The beautiful lady, smiled with open-eyed enlightenment. "O thank you Swami NRG, how can I ever repay you?"
"My lady, you're a Runners Delight but go forth and hit that PB!", at which point the Lycra Lady ran away sprinting in barefoot ease.
Well, My Precious Ones, that concludes The First Story of the epic Many Routes to the Mountain Top of Sri Swami NewRunningGuru.
Keep away from the evil spirits of the Borg who cry: 'Ohm - Resistance is Futile!'
<<<Ooooommmm K'Ching>>>

And do you feel scared - I do
But I won’t stop and falter
(from the great Howard Jones '85)
The first runner replied, “I run to keep fit.” The Zen teacher approved saying “You will have a long, healthy life.”
The second runner said, “I run to get faster. I want to be the best runner I can be.” The Zen teacher smiled and said, “Learn to master running and you may learn to master life.”
The third runner answered, “I run to relieve stress.” The Zen teacher was pleased and said “Healthy mind – Zen mind”.
The fourth runner replied “I run to run.” The Zen teacher went and sat at the feet of the fourth student and said, “I am your disciple.”

This evening's words of wisdom come from mahatama rud-yard kip-ling. (I do apologise for the totally non pc last two words, but one must interpret sacred texts such as this against the moirés of its contemporaneous conventions, not our own.)
ooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm
If you can keep on running when all about you,
others are giving up and leaving it to you.
If you can trust yourself when rhinos o’take you
but o’take those who are slower than you
If you can run and not be tired by running
or on being tired, don’t give into walking
If you can run through crowds, and keep your hearing
or run with celebs and not trip then up
If you can pass the tv cameras smiling
and not be fussed when they stop another
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
then your’s is the Mall and all the cheers that’s in it
and what is more you will be a finisher, my son!
ooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
anything that can help you is great! don't discount the power of the mind. for beginner runners anything that can help you past mile 20 is a godsend. after all after mile 20 - supposedely it's all mental and not so much physical?
good luck !!!!!!
Surely the Kip-ling mantra is your most powerful yet...
PS I'm a lawyer. You want to franchise, you'll need a good lawyer. Good rates for the karmically gifted ;-)
ooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
ooooooooommmmmmm
even in a crowd of 30,000,
you are all alone when you
cross the line
oooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!
wise words o wise one!
I luuuurve the Kip-Ling mantra and will carry it in my head from mile 20.
oooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The miracle isn't that I finished....
the miracle is that I had the courage to start.
Warning , there are plagiarists at work!! There has been a posting elsewhere quoting words taken from here and only vaguely referring to ‘another thread’. A sign has been sent to me by the lawyer alexander TRUEsdale and the following attribution must be used for all reposts from this thread:

the journey of 1000 li
starts with a single step,
strangely enough
so does a journey of 26.2 miles (c)

one of my favourites ...
"The marathoner had been winding me in for the past mile. It was annoying to
hear his inane banter. "I haven't seen the ocean looking so blue in years.
It reminds me when we were in Hawaii. Remember all those people cheering us
on that last mile. Your smile was so big, I was certain you were going to
sprint away from me." And on and on and on. I was ready to tell the guy to
just shut up and run the race, when I saw out of the side of my eye that
the blabberer was doing a 3 hour pace marathon monologue so Harry Cordellos
next to him could get a picture of the course through his guide's eyes.
Harry as you know is blind. God, even as I write these words about so long
ago the emotions and tears are alive in this moment...instant replay. "
ooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Any time, sensei.....

Oh great and revered GrassHopper, I have only now arrived at your karmic and cosmic door.
I humbly ask, may I enter?
