T’ai Chi Chih on the Run
By: Nick Walter
I am a 52 year old distance runner. I have been running for five years in races from 5K to full marathons, making very slow improvement. Like most runners I know, the first mile is “What am I doing here.” Then the last mile is “Why not better?” Since practicing T’ai Chi Chih, the last mile has improved to the point of pure enjoyment! “I’m in control and don’t it feel fine.” Thank you, Justin F. Stone.
