I haven't ran in about four days now, due to massive dance practices for Tepper's International Festival and pain in my shins. I decided to give myself a rest but I am all set to start back up again. I went to see the Banff Mountain Film Festival this weekend and a couple of the short films 35 and Keeper of the Mountains were so very interesting, especially since they were both completely different takes on life. The first one talks about living out your dreams instead of just dreaming about them, and the next has a message of satisfaction, about being content with what you have. It was interesting that the speaker in the first one was 35 years old, and the next was 80+.
I think of running as my thinking time and time to reflect on what I am running toward and what I am running from. I am raring for that time again. There was another short film (short but long - almost an hour long) where a quote was "I am not running after time here" and it was interesting because we do tend to run after it, to make the most of it. Specially in business school when there is so much going on. I have a little more than four weeks here and I plan to make the most of it - it is interesting that my perspective has changed now that I know my time in school is limited. We tend to spend a lot of time bickering, worrying, wondering about what ifs - but all that time is time wasted not doing what you want to do. I want to make memories - good ones, and then relive them for as long as I run.
Bottom Line: Focus on making memories. Now.
