Educating Enid- Zen Masters!

[Nilsam]

"I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats." (Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now)

My "inner Enid" is working on her personal development whilst I did a 5k consolidation run. I set a 5k distance target on my phone and tried a different hilly route. Running certainly clears the mind. Not a P.B. but an enjoyable run. 🏃‍♀️🤝

You let her do yoga while you ran? well done

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I find that running can be a kind of meditation...do you find you can "get in a zone"? You can forget where you are.

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Oh Yes, I completely zone out

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

I do a bit i like to just run and let my head clear

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

🧘🏼‍♀️👍

[Roxdog Graduate]

Hope it was a Zen run! 5k - that's amazing!

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Haven't got past 4.5k yet! It will happen - slowly!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Thank you, Roxdog. I don't normally have the time (It takes a while.) So just went for it. Take care. 🤝👍

Love the quote

5K on a hilly route is pretty impressive!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Rigpig]

Thank you, Rigpig. Snail pace of course. Just trying to get the distance and push myself a bit on hills. 👍

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Well done on the 5k and it sounds like it was a mindful run. Namaste 🙏🏼

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

🧘🏼‍♀️👍🏃‍♀️Indeed it was, thank you 🏃‍♀️

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Well done. You can't do a PB every time you go out, otherwise you'd soon be getting back before you left. 😉

I call my slow runs zen runs too!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Yes, it is fun isn't it? Time passes quicker and you just get into a steady pace and the mind does its own thing... 🧘🏼‍♀️👍

Well done on your 5k 😀. Enid also looks to be using her time wisely 🧘🏼‍♀️. 😊😌🙏🏻

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

She was floating round with me really but not a peep out of her...success. 🙏👍

[mom24uk Graduate]

Wow, 5k, hills and Enid meditating in the background! That's some feat! Well done 👏

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to mom24uk]

Thank you. 🧘🏼‍♀️🙏😘👍

[Joanney69 Graduate]

Fabulous Nilsam 😊

Cats are very zen - chilled, relaxed and asleep in my experience 😂

I'm hoping to follow Enid later & go to yoga 🤷

Well done on 5k - that's terrific 🎊 👏 🏃🏿

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Joanney69]

Thank you, Joanney69. We also had one that climbed onto the boiler for warmth...rolled off and landed, with a crash, on the work surface...pretending to look like it was intentional of course. 🙀😹👍
