Total Distance

4.00

Got up at 4:20 to run with my Chi running friend. She has to work early so we had to leave early. The point of the run was to concentrate on our chi and watch each others leans and posture. We stopped a few times and checked our posture by doing pole leans. We also ran to a metronome. The Chi guy recommends we set it at 90 but there is so much to think about and so much to concentrate on, that we set it at 80. With every beat our right arm would swing backwards. I did notice that when I was concentrating on the beat and my right arm, my feet felt lighter. But when I try and concentrate on posture, my feet feel heavy again. Its going to be tricky to get the balance and Im thinking it is going to take several months to get it reallly down. My body and mind has to rethink the way that I move and become that habit rather than my habits now. It is going to take body and mind memorization but I know it will pay off, bc when I get those glimpes of doing it right, It feels really good.

So now I sit here in the dark drinking my herbal orange tea trying to warm up and it really is peaceful. Soon I will hear the pitter patter of feet upstairs and then the rest of the day will be noisey. There is something to getting up early isnt there?

That's an early start! Good luck with all the Chi work. Anything to improve the form is good for running.
