Good or Not


Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization. ~ Lindburgh

Good or not we all might run. For most of us who even think to read about distance running, our running has been "good".  But this is not what I am really referring to.  We have continued forward... running without promises of reward or goodness.  Good or not many also now write.  We write lots of things... millions of blogs, digital fragments included, thousands of books, yet all happen with regularity - good or not. {And we all know they are certainly NOT all "good"!} 

As a distance runner, when there is something within us which has been designed to run and has been forming from the beginning of our childhood, when many things which are grafted into our soul, have become a product of who we are, we are inevitably faced with going out the door, good or not.

The reality within is that no matter how the run turns out does not matter, we are going to move out after it. Good or not.  No matter what the limiting factors might be, as much as within us lay, we are going out to meet the run. Good or not.

No matter the factors which might limit... and they could be innumerable... the holistic distance runner sets themselves to express their fullness in every opportunity.  Mastership measured by the attention and detail given to all the areas of "us".  Attention to spiritual matters, attention to intellectual matters and attention to physical matters, have all ~ as a force of one ~ met us. 

Good or not the holistic distance runner wraps their strength around complete expressions in every opportunity.  Good or not.
