Grateful For Every Step Here
June 20, 2011Author: Utpal For the 10 runners taking part in the Self Transcendence race each new day now, and each additional lap is starting to blend and blur into the immense vision of what they are attempting to do here. It is such a massive effort and an undertaking of such proportions that the enormity of it, in its entirety, is really incomprehensible. Only the present moment can remain distinct, and briefly held. Yesterday is gone just as what happened an hour ago. Tomorrow will come of course but all they really have is the precious now. Read more here

June 18, 2011Joke of the day 7
June 18, 2011We were running with Igor and I was telling that almost a week of life on our great race is over. We have seen all the nuances. The only thing which we have not seen yet were fire engines riding with sirens and flashers. Such massive cars with loud sirens and the huge American flag behind. I was telling that firemen are heroes in the United States. And Igor says: «Yes, probably you have to be a very rich guy to by such a fire car.»
Day 7
June 18, 2011Archived – click Post Title to view all. The 7th day of the race, June 18, 17:36. Today I have a pretty good speed, energy and mood, so I managed to run with all our leaders: with Atmavir, Igor and Sarvagata. And when we were running with Atmavir and Igor, Igor said that he was feeling a bit sleepy, so Atmavir offered him to drink some energetic containing caffein and taurine. But Igor replied: «No, thanks, I am the follower of Stutisheel’s health food approach.» So, in such a way I found out that Stutisheel’s health food approach exists. Igor has told me later that he tested and examined carefully my last book ‘Eat to Run’. All my statements about white flour, pack juices and sugar… So, all the practical things which could help us to discover our potential were tested by Igor during training process and now they are being tested here. I was happy that Igor agrees with my entire book! Yesterday the 6th day of the race was over, so now we have full 6 days. I have 366,5 miles after 6 days that is quite good for transition period in my case. I remember this year I had 324 miles in the 6 days race. Igor and Sarvagata feel quite good, they smile and run steadily. I can see Pradeep whose speed a it dropped down. Actually, he honestly tries to run all the time, but according to his own words his body experiences some shock which he can’t get rid of yet. Ananda-Lahari and Purna-Samarpan also…
