Something Supernatural!

Yes, “something”, because it is expectantly infeasible to define what is actually “supernatural”!  But something supernatural did indeed happen on my run today.  It was one of those days where you are REALLY on the edge between taking a day off after running for six days straight.  BUT, the “days” were easy days, and they were soft.  They were ALL runs of 6-8 miles and with absolute respect to recovery from a pulled arch last month.  They were awkward, yes... tight to rehabilitating, yes.   But it is time to get flowing again!  {I will add that although this may seem like a lot of running for some, I am well used to 60-70 miles a week.}

TODAY the heart within me lead me into the wilderness once again after waking and floating through a morning of speculation over all sorts of tight, awkward feelings through my feet.  (Have you been there??)  My objective was to softly flow and cover the earth, while pressing no issue.  To be brave and to feel it out... to face the possibilities for desire and for the passion of the motion in covering miles in the rustling breeze and sunshine!  My premise holistically was to go and BELIEVE.

What is supernatural (as I believe many of you have touched upon yourselves!), is that I feel 100 times better now… after the run… throughout all parts, then I did before the run!!  I cannot explain this, and I am NOT speaking about any “runners high” or “endorphins”!  (THAT is overrated.)  I went through the distance and faced the doubt.  I stood the line, and was delivered again to better motion, better balance and seemingly all things better!  There is healing in the right motion... if we can find the "right" motion!!  Something supernatural is involved in that!  Have you been there??  What is YOUR story?  The best quote for this…

“The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.”  ~ Thucydides
