The Instant Runner

I do not think one can simply desire to be spontaneous in life. Spontaneity comes through and to the inspired life. For many years up to this date I have believed that the greatest aspect of a distance runner’s strength is inspiration...

The demands of running; serious distance running; requires a passionate pursuit. Passion does not flow through the uninspired. We have so many incredible examples of passion which has gone before us!  Even the evil and cruel, through the ages, have been inspired to be so passionately. It is ONLY the inspired who are passionate. Good or bad it takes inspiration to live passionately.  The "will' to BE inspired is a different thing. 

Therefore if there is any desire to run distances within you, this "desire" should be fed daily with contemplations of things that inspire the runner! Our system of thought should embrace this desire.  The 'instant distance runner' is always instantly inspired to run... to take to the roads and trails and cover miles! There is some part of their inner constitution which needs motion. They have been inspired of their very nature.  Their will is secure.   

Before or in between running seasons this runner is calculated and ready for any good or open door. The runner is inspired in an instant to move out and cover miles. The instant runner does not wait for perfect feelings or conditions. They operate above and beyond the normal ideals of modern man. The matter of running to the instant runner is an expression of their life force. For this they are instantly ready... NOW!

The only acception is when in recovery!  And we must NEEDS recover!  When the tab has been paid, and the runners lot has been cast, then the instant runner waits again... waits into renewal and new life to return.  Renewal is a beautiful thing!  Cheers always, HD Runners!
