anywhere you put your foot,

This morning I ran outside, versus the treadmill. It was so nice to feel the sun. And the running effort, while harder, felt more responsive to how I actually felt. The treadmill always feels somewhat fake. Like I am not really running or even a real runner. Of course, I was slow and had to walk a bit, but it still felt good. Even through the pain and the sweat, I couldn't help but smile. There is just something special about having your sole (soul) touch the earth. And that’s what running is all about, right?
So Close

The ground was sparkly this morning. Seemed appropriate for the season. Christmas is less than two weeks away, still I don’t believe I have gotten into the spirit of the thing yet. Perhaps I expect too much from this time of year. I really expect it to be a time of peace and joy, but it rarely is. I suppose that says more about where my head is than anything else.
So, today I will take it upon myself to go out and create some peace and a little bit of joy. It’s not too late.
