Happy Running Day!!! Normally I giggle at all the National Days we have now, like National PB&J day or National cut your grass day (ok, I made those up) but today...well, today is surely a day to celebrate!
Dallas and I planned our week so our last run before the race would be today. A GORGEOUS 4 mile run. I have stopped trying to take photos while running, but this morning I made an exception when we rounded the path and this is what I saw.
Beauty. I soaked it all up. It was actually more lovely than this with
the fog and the grass all sparkly, but it's a camera phone after all, I
don't run with the dslr. LOL. I had another picture to share for
wide-angle Wednesday, but this one captured one of the things I love
about running even better...the beautiful parts of nature I experience! I
feel a part of it all when I run.
Did you get out and run for National Running Day? Do you feel connected with nature/the world when you are running...or am I weird? ;)
I love that picture. It really captures the beauty a runner gets to experience :)
ReplyDeleteI also agree (from your comment on my blog) that it is hard to just come up with one reason! All of your reasons are great!
Thanks Lauren! I have always loved being outside but running outside takes it to another level, I think!
DeleteI think the early morning is the most beautiful time to run. Everything is quiet...even the animals are just waking up. I love love love when the sun just peaks over the horizon. It's my favorite part of the day. Seeing all the animals scurry around definitely makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI haven't run today because I'm still battling this nasty chest infection and I ran Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (all with the infection), but I'm planning on doing a 2-mile warm up before my weights class tonight.
I love the sun rising too! So fantastic. I hope you start feeling better!
DeleteI love all your reasons! And wow, what an amazing view! I ran 4 miles yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! We were running twinkies then! ;)
DeleteWow, stunning view!! Happy (belated) National Running Day! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and back atcha! :)
DeleteJust wanted to tell you.... There is apparently a glitch in the Active.com system and REGISTRATION IS OPEN !!!!!! I just registered ( and bit the bullet) and went for the entire Glass Slipper Challenge :) I know it's not supposed to be open until the 11th, but you can get in NOW !!! Good luck !
ReplyDeleteThanks Trish, I saw that there was a link but I'm going to wait until Tuesday when regular registration opens. I'll have my 10K time by then too!
DeleteHow LOVELY! That definitely is inspiration to run!
