      What is Mindful Running?

      I was drenched from head to toe, and my body felt like it wanted to quit. The rain had been pouring down all morning, with no sign of letting up. I was at mile 16 of my first marathon, the Illinois Marathon in Champaign, IL. My body was telling me to start walking, more like screaming it at me. My legs hurt, I was soaked, but through all of this, I was actually enjoying every second of my first marathon! Besides, if I stopped to walk for a little while, I’m not sure I would have been able to start running again. There were a number of people running beside to me, and we got to experience this together, which made me feel a little better.

      I got my second wind around mile 20, and I was able to finish the last several miles feeling pretty good. The race finished on the local University’s football field, with a smattering of bold spectators who braved the rain. Most of the spectators were gathered inside the arena, taking shelter from the rain and cold. I slowly made my way inside to feast on pizza and pretzels that were given to the racers. Finishing my first marathon felt so good mentally, but not so great physically, as I hobbled back to my car with my wife. I felt better after a couple of days, and I was already planning on when my next marathon would be. Currently I have just started training for the Chicago Marathon in October, and I am very excited to be a part of their 40th year anniversary. And after this race, if I’m feeling well, I am considering running a 50k (31 miles) 3 weeks later.

      So why should we do mindful running? Mindfulness is working its way into popular culture now, but the idea has been around for a long time. In today’s world, there are constant distractions from our computer, phone, and television; it is difficult to be mindful at times, and puts us in a state of mindlessness. But, it is very necessary to learn how to become more aware of the present moment and to have less stress in order to find happiness. There are many methods to be mindful, and I will review some of them in later chapters. One that I enjoy greatly is being mindful while running. I enjoy doing sitting meditation as well, but I don’t always have time in a busy day for this. So, I use mindfulness when I run to help to cultivate happiness. I started practicing meditation about 10 years ago. This helped me immensely with learning about myself, lowering my depression, and starting a path to living life in the moment. Around the same time I started running in races as well. At first it was just to stay in better shape for other sports, but it soon became one of the main sources of exercise and meditation for me.
