Wow, thanks for linking me up to this! I’ll be looking at my runs with even more intuition. And you’re right about the GPS map of a run being like art. Wonder what today’s “drawing” will be?
Love the ideas in this post. Especially this: "Furthermore, running is an expressive action, and can also be performed as interval training (i.e. alternating between sprinting, running and jogging, going up and downhill and running through different terrains). This is not that dissimilar from making a painting where the elements of art and principles of design are applied in layers by the artist to convey certain feelings and representations of nature."
Yes! I am glad that particular line resonates with you. It reminds me of how you describe both the technical and spiritual aspects of fitness in your posts.
I always try and apply a whole lot of mindfulness when working out. Sometimes I'm really successful, but other times my brain and body pulls me towards optimization. Achieving a fine balance between the two would be ideal.

I'd love to see some of your drawings!

Going to remember that on my run today!
