Lately, in my runs, I have been focusing on the One Legged Posture Stance (OLPS). A good description of the OLPS can be found in the Chi Running book (p. 78-79). At the Kripalu workshop last fall, Danny said "The One Legged Posture Stance is like plugging an electrical socket into the floor with each step."

As readers, you might get bored of how ecstatic I am after running. It’s not always that way, but recently, I have been truly euphoric after each running workout. Why? Because I love to move my body, to be in control of how my feet touch the ground, where my eyes lead me, how my [...]

I think of Gradual Progress as the framework around which ChiRunning can be learned. One step at a time, things should be incrementally and fully learned before moving on to the next step. It’s not the only way to think about ChiRunning form, but for me, is an important one. As you’ve read in my [...]

Imagine that! I went running again in the rain today, again. Seriously, for almost a month, we’ve been having these crazy days of rain. I think the longest it’s gone without raining here lately has been maybe three days. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining, but literally every time I plan to run, [...]

Bent Creek is lovely. It’s a mainstay for me when I go running. I know the terrain, I know the parking areas, I know the hot/cold areas, I can get flats and hills, trail and gravel… It’s a great place to go running. So I went out there today. My dad was in town for [...]

I feel like everytime I write a new post, it’s about running in the rain. So, guess what? I did my LSD run in the rain today… I ran this route, about 7.5 miles. Wasn’t sure when I left to go running this morning how I was going to do. Surprised myself with it, and [...]

I didn’t realize it until this afternoon, but it appears I really did something funky with my body when I was running yesterday. Going up the stairs today at work is semi-painful. What did I do? My right adductor, medial quad and glute are sore. What on earth did I do? It’s a puzzler, but [...]

I can’t get over how lovely the mornings are this time of year… Brynn and I hauled ourselves out of bed this morning at met @ 6.30 to fit in a quick running workout before work. We did this route, which we’ve done before… it’s around town and pretty consistently hilly. We ran it in [...]

It was an absolutely stunning day yesterday. I got out on my running route at 8.30 am, when it was still cool. I ran this very hilly 6.16 mile route. It’s all uphill for the first part and then all downhill for the 2nd part. The downhill run is more gradual than the uphill portion, [...]

Howdy folks. The weather in AVL is lovely… and Brynn convinced me to go running with her and I am pleased as a pea to say: we ran 5.5 miles, it was awesome, and my knee really isn’t bothering me. WHAT? I know, I can hardly believe it. I won’t say too much, cause it’s [...]
