"I've always felt running is a form of meditation. Running enables us to stop our lives, to go out and find a safe place for ourselves."
Nina Kuscsik, first official women's champ with her 1972 Boston Marathon win and two-time NYC Marathon winner
I have commented on this before. I really find my running a useful time to meditate/pray. I have a mantra I use as I run. It's in conjunction with my breathing. I say "world" on the inhale, and "peace" on the exhale. I learned this in a yoga class I took last fall.
I find the mantra clears my mind, and am able to focus on the run. It also allows for prayer time. Again, I am not an overly religious guy, and I am no pushing my faith out there. I just feel peaceful with God during these runs.
