Morning Buddha

Wednesday, May 5, 8am. Mile 1.72 of an 8 mile run through Griffith Park.

These days I’m paying attention to form – trying to find that spot where my cadence is what I want it to be, my pace is what I want it to be, my feet are hitting the ground in line with my hips, and I’m landing somewhere mid-foot to toe. When everything is right, I need to feel it and be able to sustain it by focusing my attention on the combination of these elements. In other words, it’s a mindfulness meditation. So it’s kind of appropriate to spot a Buddha in the grass.
