Chi Running...................................

I have only read a part of the book, and certainly have not gotten the techniques down very well, and yet just focusing on my running last night and working with the concepts I felt a difference. I ended up doing five miles in 48:42 which is a great time for me.

More importantly than time is the way I felt. Maybe it is all in my head (and who cares if it is), but with the focus on relaxing my muscles I truly felt as if I was putting out less effort. The running felt much easier, and obviously, with the finish time, I was not slacking off so there must be something to all this. Right?

Can't wait until I really understand the technique and it becomes second nature to me while running. I just might have to take on a fifty miler. Now wouldn't that be something to brag about?
