Most Noble Sangha,
wow.
okay, it’s been 20 years since i’ve cracked the Top 20 of this Race, and let me tell you right spanking now:
“There is no pain, like Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon Top 20 Pain!”
my fingers can still barely function well enough to get this to you, and i finished the race 6 hours ago!
thanks to your spiritual and Temple Support,
and to my daughter’s Blessed Mantra which i used as a metronome to my 75-kilometer pilgrimage today, your ol’ coach walked his talk again, this time right into the Top 20! dat’s right, baby!
i accomplished 2 of my 3 Pre Race Goals that i told you about in yesterday’s DL and though i be one hurtin’ puppy right now, my heart and soul are soooo deeply, sooo sacredly happy!
unoffically, i finished nearly a quarter hour faster than last year, smashing the 5-hour mark by coming across the finish line in 4:47 and change! and…the conditions were substantially more difficult than last year! so far, the result sheet says i am in 16th place overall!
oh my gosh, do i hurt. more later. it was a great, magnficent yogic attainment today out there, up there, and back down from up there! i crashed on the super sketchy ski descent, froze the bejesus outta me fingers, and entered an absolutely pain-free BuddhaRealm of Transcendent Experience through Mantra…
i can promise you this much, my Precious Sangha, on this Night of Nights,
i left nothing out there and now, it’s all “in here.”
oh, and there sure as hec weren’t any other Yoga Teachers or Wholistic Fitness physiques finishing in front of your ol’ coach today!
My Precious Ones,
Wholeness works…
i must rest…driving back to Flag tomorrow…now, a well-earned Margarita (yes, SALT PLEASE!!) and some battle-stories with fellow and sister warriors…maybe next year, with you!!
though there may not be any pain quite like Tsidool, pain…
there is also no Higher Purification…least not in my book!
God, i am Blessed.
Thank you…
what a life of Determined Sweat this one’s been.
and i ain’t stoppin’ yet…
how about you?
May your Sunday Workout be turned and tuned within…
thank you again for your well-wishes, your prayers, and your visualizations and mantra work…i am convinced it got me up near the top 15 today!!!
wow.
now, about that marg…
