It's funny how getting out of bed and starting my run is less enjoyable than the last of 7 miles of a good workout with 6 two minute hill repeats! Did that make sense? I am loving these beautiful mornings to run in! It's kind of sad to think of all those mornings in my life I have been in bed instead of out enjoying what my own two feet can do for me! I notice things so differently while I am out running. Kind of like the spirituality discussion going on on the discussion board. I feel the crisp morning air, (sometimes very hard as the wind slaps us around!). I hear birds of all kinds, (including peacocks that you can hear all the way across the fields.) I smell the different flowers as I pass people's well cared for yards, (also a few smells down at the river bottoms that aren't always pleasant.) I see beautiful mountains, rolling hills, flowers, trees, wildlife, people and a really great husband by my side. Taste is usually something I enjoy more when I get home rather than on the run. Sometimes that might be a nice mug of hot chocolate to warm the innards up. But definitely NOT the squid jerky that Camron sent us from Japan yesterday! Blech! It all makes me so grateful for all the many blessings I have.
