Read ChiRunning, by Danny Dreyer and Katherine Dreyer. It was highly recommended by several on-line fora and I found myself agreeing with the philosophy. I hoped for a light-bulb moment of clarity that would allow me to run with effortless joy. Currently I find the joy, but only after considerable effort.

It turns out I ‘ChiRun’, mostly. Over the years I have developed a rather smooth ‘style’, preferences for shoes and routes. Friends who run, favorite events. An authentic running lifestyle. I don’t always enjoy running. It gets very cold in Minnesota. But I do enjoy the health and joy running brings to my life.

Good Chi.
