I love it I really love it.  Kodanda quite often I really like his music it is a change and his sincere love of music it flows in him and from him I really enjoy it also
it is not boring at all here.  
It makes for a nicer atomoshpere
brings something divine

this number 5
quite often I pray and breathing and chanting this race teaches you like small things which you don't see in our daily life

rain for example laughs and sometimes I appreciate it trees and people who are hlping at the race and small kids playing at the playground and poeple playing all kinds of games on the sport field 
and the course in general.

still I didn't learn to like the concrete the sidewalk the surface is very hard.  

I like the place on 168 th st a beautiful pine tree.  and at the entrance of thomas edison high school. 

quiet place at night quite often you run there you can see beautiful sky.  
yes I do in terms of traiining and trying to prepare as much as possible.  and there is no system in it it just comes 

I dream about the race while being here. dreamt he was still running.
quite often I am trying to imagine him driving himself in his car and places where he gave prasad and played instruments

I had shin splints for 10 days or even more.  aftr first day I was sick I thought it was because of the race the shock for the body if you are running on concrete all day but I think I have some kind of flu.  I was really trembling some fever rapidly getting better because of megabhuti.

I am still not settled I have moments when I can hardly and moments when I can run pretty well still threr is sore ness in the legs I believe it will go away so that I can enjoy more running

definityly a way of looking at the rest of year.  before the race problems would look huge.  now they don't look like problems at all. I mean some of them new ones always come which we have to transform 
it hellps to conquer tor speed up transformation of nature ..  this stress on body and mind we have to deal with situations that otherwise we wouldn't
we have to conquer sleep, we have to learn to work phuysically very hard with little sleep and we have to learn 
I think this race teaches us many many things
humility and to have oneness and to laugh and patience and tolerance and bring forward will power and many many things
I am definity a different person I think to run one race is one liftetim.  in the outer point of view it is just running around the block all the time all the same but every race is totally different.
and it makes me stronger
my body is getting stronger
everybody is changing over the years   
for everybody it is different I am really happy this race is teaching me how to sleep less I like to be active
