Philosophy of running...



I am going to take on Aristotle's philosophy. We are what we repeatedly do. & I certainly repeatedly run, every day in fact. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit. I will strive to be the most excellent version of me that I can be & that me is in the habit of running as excellently as I possibly can (not that fast nor with the perfect heel strike) but I run with heart & soul which I think is excellent!

I have just entered the 'two bays trail' race on January 12th. www.twobaystrailrun.com
It will be my next big run as I can't get to Tasmania next month due to work commitments, so a 56k down in the Mornington peninsula, Victoria will be my first ultra of 2014. I will endeavour to run my very best, whilst praying for temperatures below 40 degrees! I will be training with Aristotle's mantra in mind. Trying to do 56k in 51/2 hours is pretty damn excellent too!!

Take me to the trails to ponder more philosophies & to work on the habit of being excellent...
