Running Make You Better
I was told by some runners that your inner thoughts could stay away from normal life through running. Michael Murphy, the founder of Aisa Lun Association, said that many athletes had abnormal experience during matches. Aisa Lun Association sports dean Mike Spino described that people could find a larger himself by running. And I found that normal people and super stars always touched the elements of inner mind at the most unexpected time.".
When I write this book, John Walker, who comes from New Zealand, becomes the fastest person in 1-mile race in the history. And he used some wonderful sentences to describe the situation of the victory in a 1500 km race of the Olympic Games. He told people,"when sprinting to the finishing line, I suddenly thought that I must be the winner. Even no looking back, I could felt I was chased by somebody. Although I could not make sure who he was, I felt it was Rick Wall Huett who came from America. I bet it must be him. I had tried my best, but I was totally controlled by subconscious. This situation was not the first time, but it was hard to tell the reasons. And the result was I winned".
Not long before, I reread William James's Varieties of Religious Experience, and to my surprise, runners' words were so similar with the words of many mystics. As I described before, there are more matches on Sunday mornings than other days. Is it just a coincidence? Maybe it is. However, it is not difficult to find words that mentioned the religious characters of running. A runner from Arizona who was 30 years old said that in 1976, her faith was altered and she became a believer in running. And then, she said, "I think it is not improper to mention my experience in the same breath with the changes of my religious belief.".
Running is an outside action, but we get changes in our inner world. We run to succeed, and we become to proceed. Inspiration helps us run - far, farther, farthest. While we are becoming, we feel that we are in the process of reaching our ultimate Goal. But today's Goal is only the starting point for tomorrow's new dawn. As a result, we can not ignore the magic power of inner minds during running. Don't be hesitate, get ready to run.
What significant is that nobody had ever made entire survey on the spiritual changes led by running. In spite of some attention from several writers, we could never find an entire introduction on the spiritual matter related to running. We have to say it is quite a big pity.
