Demand Nothing, Expect Everything

With all our demands and all our expectations as human beings, we must pause and think as runners... we face a paradox.  As varied as the possibilities of human anatomy and physiology, is as varied the outcome of any and all distance runs.  It is therefore neither wise or prudent to predict the outcome of ANY distance effort.  Relaxing into effort and adversity is not the natural order of any human being, but it is the solution.  Therefore it is good to consider and take to heart the way we feel when we head out to the open road or to the switching trail.  Run out taking to heart the past efforts we have recently made.  Flow out softly making the right considerations of environment and challenge, but yet just as equally -- disregard what our natural make-up would demand of us.  Disregard what we might assume of ego and ability that the run is going to be, or what the run is suppose to be.  We can open our hearts with broadness to whatever our heart NEEDS each long distance run to be.  This freedom is available to every long distance runner, that choice is liberty.  Leaving once again and demanding nothing ~ returning once again and expecting everything!  LIVE STRONG, RUN Strong!
