impatience
It's true, I'm not a patient person. I can be patient with children. Patience with adults takes a lot of self control. Patience with myself...forget about it.
I am frustrated and a little depressed about my progress learning the pose running technique. I put a video up on the pose forum recently, and at first I thought it showed some progress. On closer inspection, I seem to still have a pretty straight trailing leg. The pull looks late. Now I'm not sure that it's much better than the earlier videos at all.
Hopefully I'm not the only one in the world who has had difficulty like this learning pose running. I want badly to go to a clinic, but it would be a little too expensive at this point, unless they have a clinic in California. So, I guess I will keep at the drills. But I need to start doing some mileage if I'm going to be able to run cross country or finish the crazy Saturn Relay thing.

Erin, as you go through your frustration with learning Pose, you may want to communicate with Eric Berlin (epberlin on the Pose site); he is an elite runner (2:38 marathon, for example) who took more than six months "getting" Pose. Midway through it, I thought he was going to quit; his frustration level was very high. As you can see from his recent posts, he has finally "got" it -- although he, and everyone else I know, understands that one's Pose can always be improved!

Erin, I am nowhere near your calibre of running but even I am starting to get the pose. It does take some patience but you will be rewarded. There will be moments when it will all click. Your body is learning new mechanics...creating new neurosmuscular pathways! It will come!
