HAPPY NATIONAL RUNNING DAY!

Today’s 5-miler reminded me of why I love running.  The weather conditions were perfect- 58 degrees, low sun, no wind.  I began on the paved road outside my door and was soon winding through dirt trails, my legs propelling me up and down rolling hills.  I didn’t worry about my pace, my mileage for tomorrow, or the pile of breakfast dishes in the kitchen sink.  While I did need to focus on not tripping and falling on my face, mostly I reflected on how satisfying it felt to do this simple thing in this beautiful place I’m lucky enough to call home.
