Thanks to my limitations and perspective I will just run happy and make some new friends :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169460908351248051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857744573765551369.post-78859359804795642672011-05-31T20:47:43.277-07:002011-05-31T20:47:43.277-07:00" Just as importantly, once one realizes it i..." Just as importantly, once one realizes it is impossible to judge others, it becomes impossible to judge oneself..."<br /><br />I wholeheartedly agree! And by not having any judgements you allow yourself to be in the moment with no attachments to goals or expectations. Being present with every step is the essence of running in pure joy. Gotta love that!<br /><br />Nice post, Chris.

When we want to run a race in a certain time or a certain pace, we are essentially running for others and their validation. In the end does it matter? Nope, what matters is that we ran for ourselves.Katie Kifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837990080866257280noreply@blogger.com
