I run to exercise my physical

And meditate to tone my spiritual.

I run on hills, paths and beaches,

Meditating there too, but usually seated.

I run and see new faces, places

And meditate enjoying inner races.

I run with friends and sometimes alone

And meditate with bliss, reaped and sown.

I run for a time and distance goal

And meditate for the destination of my soul.

 Running has become an integral part of my spiritual life. I am not at all fast but do credit any of results to my meditation life. To date I have run over 10 marathons, 3 Ultra marathons (47 Mile Race in New York), 3 12 Hour Walks and one 6 Day Race at 24. I am part of the The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in Christchurch.
