I tried to land under my center of mass. I also did my best to open my chest wide, to lean forward, to land as soft as possible in each stride. I loaded a program in my mind that said all these things and a lot more in order to become an efficient runner and staying out of injuries and, suddenly, I had enough of it all. The program certainly helped me for a time of pain and injuries, but then I did not need it. I started to run barefoot and it all happened in a smooth and natural way. I didn’t have to focus on my running form anymore, which was so fatiguing for both, my mind and my body. I said it already: I run for two hours or more and, at the end, I still feel joyful, complete, present, strong. Not because I´m a better runner but because of the energy that comes from above, from our mother; because running has become an indispensable part of my spiritual growth and not a boring, repetitive movement of arms and legs or another ridiculous, puerile way of calling the attention of others.
