I awoke today to find myself finally getting past the point of just saying that I was going to go for a run and finally just doing it. It felt good to feel my feet hitting the pavement once again, the world around just quiet and peaceful as it can be at 5:15 in the a.m. A few dogs barking here and there but still quiet enough to let my thoughts wonder off to a place in my mind long forgotten from the times that I ran before. With only a small goal in place, basically to make it around the block without dying, I still was able to seek memories that I had long forgotten. With a renewed energy today, I think I will try to do two blocks tomorrow and god willing be up too 3 blocks by the end of the week. I find myself sitting at my desk at this very moment yearning to lace up those running shoes, not just to run but to just seek out those memories that are only found when the sound of your shoes hitting the pavement pulls them from the depths of your mind. I sometimes think it is best shown in the movie Forrest Gump when he justs takes off running. In the movie he runs for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days and 16 hours. I can only imagine the amount of things he could think about in that amount of time. I dont see myself going to that extreme to think about things. I do however think that if I would just let my mind wonder off, I would really get more running done.

For now though, Its now time to get back to work and let my mind do the running instead of my legs. До другого дня.
