Anticipation

You feel it bubble up

Half giddy
Half scared

Do you dare?

Just one step

And suddenly

It's GAME ON!

Its happening... you can feel it in the air  You can see it in the way the sun hits the grasses on the side of the road Hear it when you open your door and the kids are outside playing It's running weather... I know you feel it too.  That feeling that you get when you have to lace up and get out It's been a while though A long while...  Hesitation sets in, you second guess You tell yourself it's probably nothing Probably procrastination from some more pressing projects on your plate. But I can't shake it... So I ran.  and walked.  and ran some more... and took a few pics to commemorate the beginning of the season.  Running Season.

I've thought about picking this blog back up again for a while.

Lacked focus Attention Discipline If I can run for 3 hours And enjoy it- I can find the joy in anything Lately it's been deliriously easy to find the joy hill looks easy enough starting lineup Today brought another run with Tennille This time I brought NMrunnergirl (aka Clare) I've been wanting to introduce these two They often run the same routes Simi...
