I ran on base today in the morning. Such a beautiful day, cool and humid. Before the run I sat in my car and stared into space. It hurt just to think about running. I question why I train and why I care? I run for freedom and joy. Why would some threaten the very gift I am thankful for everyday? I am a runner. We are runners. We will run!!! I got out of my car and started running. When I am emotional, I usually just cry and have to pull to the side of the road and cry cry cry. Not today. Running felt good. Running is a gift. I saw other runners out on the path and waved and said "Good morning" to each of them. It just felt so amazing knowing I could just run. I saw a turtle on the golf course at mile 1.4 and stopped and stared at it and watched it hide in it's shell. So innocent. How could anyone hurt a creature, or someone else? We are all God's children and we all belong on this planet together. We have to get along. What would the world be like if we all ran? 8:00 AP Went to Bikram today at noon. Still hurt.
