Run, Search, and Kimchi

(2014-12-20 11:16:16) 下一個
Like Sunday, these days Saturdays are gloomy, too;-) It's
warmer than I thought. The old oak tree from the last week
still lied on the trail side.

I thought this run would be a much shorter one when my old
friend, the ITBS, joined me at mile 2. But like in last
Saturday, it didn't get much worse over time. So I kept on
going. I felt more keenly the glutes maximus at work in the
second half of the run as I tried to keep pace. I felt at
ease over the entire course and didn't stop to stretch.

I thought of Chade Meng Tan's book "Search Inside Yourself"
and somehow couldn't help comapring it with the Kimchi video
from Maangchi. I understand what Tan's talking about at an
intellectual level but Maangchi's about doing. As I mature
over time, I don't expect to make spiritual breakthroughs
through reading and coach Vigil (as in Born to Run) would
classify some writings as "Buddha-under-the-lotus-tree"
stuff. The simple dish laden with history, culture, and
pro-health qualities inspires me more. Kimchi is love incarnate.

Overall, I ran 9.6 miles at a pace of 9:03.

無知無為 回複 悄悄話 g-d bless what, different opinions? then it's a lame g-d or rather gods. sounds like you aren't that emotionally independent?
7grizzly 回複 悄悄話 回複 '無知無為' 的評論 :

Our experiences must be vastly different to shape such different opinions.
And that's OK. God bless.
無知無為 回複 悄悄話 I don't understand and I don't believe in human equality. equality is a supernatural term from the Euclidean geometry. To inspire is not a purpose per se. To inspire to achieve what?
7grizzly 回複 悄悄話 回複 '無知無為' 的評論 :

I can think of many purposes besides personal health and fitness but
one is enough. I wish to inspire.

If you have loved ones who died or are suffering from modern diseases,
if you have kids to set up a role model for, or if, like me, you
believe in the equality of humans and would like to show the world,
you'd understand.
無知無為 回複 悄悄話 what is your other purpose of running besides the obvious exercise?
