Running in the mornings now. Have I abandonned standing?
I love running. I love the feeling of increase, the oxygen in my gut, the concrete and simple goals, the future vision of myself, stronger, leaner, faster. I see this as a natural extension of my standing practice. For years I cultivated discipline, tolerance of pain, perseverance. And now I have a base for running.
The challenge is to keep pushing myself further. Get to the 40 minutes I used to aim for with standing. Then beyond.
