In 2019 I decided to run 100km. Then, Corona happened and the event I signed up was cancelled for 2 consecutive years. In 2022 the organisers finally got the green light from the City of Lüneburg, and I completed 102 km in 13 hours and 21 minutes. Here’s a video of the experience:
This experience taught me (or reminded me) of a few important things:
- Always be kind and grateful with yourself and others.
- Eat when the body-mind needs food, rest when rest is needed. Run and enjoy in the present moment.
- It’s not about enduring or withstanding pain. It’s not about controlling. It’s not about attaining. It’s just about being, as it is.
- You can always begin again, in every moment. This mantra was helpful to periodically reset my running form and mindset every time I would become unaware or I got lost in thought (eg. hunching my shoulders instead of being relaxed and upright).
*The above video has no monetary aim. However, the video is not available in all countries/regions because of Youtube music copyright restrictions. Oh well…
