Unbelievably running does just that, if you allow yourself to focus on running as a process for you and not simply an outcome to be squeezed into a challenge frame of mind then you learn to be compassionate to yourself, your awareness of who you are becomes heightened and, if following a form based approach to running, then your understanding of what a moment can bring becomes clear. When I teach chi running I emphasise that I am not teaching a static fixed movement that is rigid but an awareness that the window of balance is fluid, this moves depending on the surface, gradient or just with you.

As the Chi Running book recommends, "If you're running on a very rocky trail, wear cycling gloves. They have padded palms in case you do a face plant ..." Oh, if only I had followed that piece of advice! But I had good reasons not to wear cycling gloves this morning ...

When I woke up to several inches of wet snow on the ground this morning, I have to admit that I thought twice about going running … Bob and Alyssa and I decided to brave it anyway ...

In the past week, I’ve gone running three times. Lately, that’s a lot for me! I’ve been making the time to get outdoors and enjoy the crisp fall mornings. Sunday I went running for 3.8 miles with the dog, surprising myself, and the dog as well. We had great weather that morning and going running [...]

As you’ll see from the photo on the November newsletter, Asheville is ablaze with color. As the leaves fall to the ground, they bring the color to our feet… combine the leaves with rain, however, and you get a somewhat treacherous path. We took Oliver for a hike yesterday in the drizzling rain. We went [...]
