It's been raining the past two days. I found a lull in the rain yesterday and got my run in. I'm waiting for the rain to stop today at around 2:00 to head out today. Yesterday was unique for me. Not only was it a rainy run, but it was also an unplugged run. That is, I forgot my iphone so couldn't listen to anything. No music, no podcast, no Pandora, nothing. Just the sprinkling rain, the birds, and the sounds of the lake. I have to say, I enjoyed it more then my other distractions. Now, I'm not going to say that I'll never listen to something on a run again, quite honestly, I'll do it more then not, but what I was amazed at was all the sounds I was missing. It was unique and fantastic to change it up and unplug from my tech life. I have no idea how long the run took me, I have no idea how far I went, (though I can estimate it), I had no idea of my pace. I just ran, simply, and lightly, and enjoyed it.
Resolved: Changing the status quo from time to time can open up a world of opertunities.
So, that being said, I think I'll find a new route today. I'll head down a path and see where it goes. It's Friday, I can afford to go out for a little longer, and it looks like I'll be able to get at least an hour of dry time. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend. It is suppose to be over 100 degrees here. Might warrant a special Sunday, sweat run!
Until next time, trying to be honest with the world and myself.
