June 27, Utpal: Every Day a Miracle

June 27, 2015

“Every day out here is a miracle for me. I am just going to keep going as far as I can. Hopefully it is enough to finish. If it is not than every day has been great.”

This morning when I ask Grahak how he feels his first reaction is a very large sigh. For most of the last week his mileage results have been stellar but the physical concerns that he brought to the block have refused to go away. He says this morning at least he has been experiencing some mental turmoil. Frustrated that the easy flow of pain free running has not yet made him a consistent friend and companion.

“I have got some real problems. I am trying to sort each one out, one at a time.” “I have a bit of a sore calf but it is getting better.” Then as if it was an every day occurrence he mentions he had a fever the night before. This morning he took many laps before his noticeable limp went away. “I am having real problems with a hip injury. I knew I had it before I came. It is really playing on my mind a bit.” Quite often Grahak has a unique facial expression. I ask him about it. “I guess that is when I focus inwardly. The more I do it the better.” Photo by Jowan 2007 Read more http://perfectionjourney.org/2015/06/27/june-27-every-day-a-miracle/#more-44463

June 26, Utpal: Everybody Has a Journey

June 26, 2015

Each of the 12 runners here has their own unique vision of what the race means to them and their own distinct voice in expressing what it is they see and feel and experience here. Building this vision and this story with each new lap and each new day they run around the course.

Every word or thought that they might share has incredible value and potency. Already each runner has run close to, or already exceeded 700 miles.

This is the 7th time Baladev has run the 3100 mile race. This morning he has been singing some of Sri Chinmoy’s songs. He carries an mp3 player often, “I am listening a lot. When you sing you need to use more energy. You need to be in the mood to sing. But I am listening often during the whole day.”

“Sometimes I am listening to a song and I feel as though it is inside me. You are the song. When you feel that you are the song, it is amazing.” baladev Read more http://perfectionjourney.org/2015/06/26/june-26-everybody-has-a-journey/#more-44407
