Even though I've run twice this year in the beautiful falling snow and went to The Freedom Striders twice so far this season -- mentally beating myself up that I need to get motivated and get out there for pete sake, somehow I feel like this morning was my maiden voyage to the streets.........thus launching my 2011 season to fall in love with nature again, smelling the morning dew, hearing the birds wake up, waving at the cars driving by waving at me and listening to my ipod as I run as much as I can then walking it out...then repeat. It was a perfect day to launch.
I love being outside. It just smells good. Being outside running gives me time to think, away from my heavy project load that I put on myself. Even with music blairing from the ipod I have a sense of calm and time to sort it all out. I reflected this morning as I trotted along, how much I enjoyed running, and growing, and stretching myself last year as I persevered toward my goal of running the Crim.
This year my goal is to love running even more and NOT to have a goal for once in my life. I just want to do it because I love to do it, because it feels good and....I like how feeling good looks on me.
So as I approached my home stretch, in deep enjoyment of my music, I wondered -- if I could be anything in the world right now, who would I be??? I just smiled ear to ear and knew -- I would be my granddaughters neighbor.
Who would you be?
