Pulling Me Along

Although I never ran before joining Guru's path, in the first marathon I ran, I was the fifth woman overall. I thought, with a little more practice I could be first, and then maybe they would mention Guru in the newspaper write-up. The night before my next marathon, I had some pains and also some doubts. But every time I inwardly told Guru about my pains, he would say in my meditation, "Run, you will win." During the marathon, I felt Guru's force pulling me along and, although I kept expecting someone to pass me, I was the first woman to finish, breaking the tape in 3:26.
