I had originally wanted to walk run with the Diva's in the Dark- Black Girls Run Group at 6am. I woke up at 4 and then woke up at 6:30. Disappointed that I missed the morning group, I felt somewhat relieved when I heard the rain coming down.
I thought about hitting the gym for a dance class or something to avoid the weather, then I remembered how I used to love running in the rain and snow and negative degree weather. I knew I was a runner that one summer day when I got caught in a down pour and enjoyed it! Now a days, I look for every and any excuse not to get out. But today, I thought about my BL3 friend, Tim Clausen, who posted online that he has run 5 miles for 2000 days in a row. And I thought about a video that blogger Fitbee posted with her running journey and I knew rain or shine it was time for me to get dressed and get it done!
Close to my turn around point what did I notice? A Great Blue Heron!
There's something wonderful about living on the edge of downtown and getting to notice trains, rivers, trees, important birds, and skyscrapers...seemingly all in the same breath. In awe...
