Free your mind (Adina Zimmermann via Runplugged Runkit)

You can already feel the change in the first 15 minutes into the trail run: Our body awakens, the heart rate is increasing, the muscles are getting warm, all our systems in us are getting ALIVE – fresh air from the trees flows into our lungs, meanwhile we feel much better.

We see the beauty of nature: The greens of the woods, we listen to the music of the birds, we feel the soft ground under our feet and we start to relax – Happiness arrives –  We start smiling and are now connected to the ground. We enjoy the most important moment called NOW, all our bad  experience from the past are getting small, and our fears of the future disappear – Yesterday is over, tomorrow will come – And we can only act NOW – We let our thoughts run free. – Call it flow, call it runners high, call it Nirvana, call it how you like, but this exact moment, this feeling is why we run.

How is it for you? Have you ever experienced something like it?
