Dropping into Knowing

​I'm circling back to the concept of knowledge, viewing it as something to be deeply ingrained at all levels and across various aspects of our lives. Those who truly own their knowledge are easily distinguishable. They exude a different aura in the way they walk, talk, and act.

Currently, I'm in the process of dropping into my own knowledge, specifically as it pertains to my running and the final weeks of training for Coast to Kosci. This knowledge encompasses a deep understanding of my fatigue level, a profound awareness of how my body feels, recognition of my strengths and weaknesses, and informed decisions regarding race aspects from nutrition to pacing. It's about knowing what's best for me as an athlete and as Luca.

I'm making the shift from merely believing that something works or is best for me to knowing it at a visceral, physical, and psychological level. It's about taking full ownership. Belief can sometimes imply a dependency on someone or something external, or even an internal state. Knowing, however, is straightforward and unadulterated. It's liberating. It allows me to operate from a place of unencumbered authenticity and grow, no matter the circumstances.
