A Runner’s Thoughts: Breath is usually expressed in Greek as pneuma, which can also mean air, wind, or spirit. In Hebrew ruah is translated as breath, but it can also mean creative energy or life-giving force. As we run, walk or move through life another way, let us have an awareness of our breath as spirit, as our capacity to bring God into our being as we take in oxygen into our lungs. If we see each breath this way, we will begin to allow our runs, walks or movements through life another way, to become prayer! (Adapted from Running the Spiritual Path by Roger Joslin)

A Runner's Thoughts: As we run, walk or move through life another way today let us choose the road less traveled: the road of awareness, the road of revelation, the road of intention, the road of mindfulness, the road of imagination, the road of joy, the road of prayer. Today let's pick a road we have not traveled lately and let it make a difference in our life today!
