The Zen of Running

I enjoyed reading this blog post on The Zen of Running:
http://zenhabits.net/the-zen-of-running-and-10-ways-to-make-it-work-for-you/

and I really like this little book - 'The Zen of Running' by Fred Rohé, 1974

From the book:

"This experience is

a newly discovered

form of meditation

or

one more way

for you

to discover you.

whatever you do

with your running,

you only cheat yourself

by pushing, pressing, competing.

There are no standards

and no possible victories except

the joy you are living

while dancing your run.

in any life

joy is only known

in this moment — now!

so feel the flow

of your dance

and know

you are not running

for some future reward --

the real reward is now!

    in the running

    in the run

    --- now ---

    why not start

    now?"
