A year of change, hope, serenity and wholeness. It starts today. Part of this journey consists of working on consistency and finding my rhythm; with my training, my nutrition, my daily routines. Today was a run day...and I ran...in the rain. I will admit it took a bit for me to get out the door. I bundled up and waiting for the rain to subside. I was sure to wear layers and a good wind and rain jacket. I ran my normal route to the coast with the idea that I would run more than 3 miles, hoping for close to 6. I ran down to the camp ground and looked out at the water. It was misty and ominous but it was my Peace. I love the ocean it doesn't change it's purpose it just keeps ebbing and flowing but today it was a little more angry than other days. After a bit of time and a deep breath I restarted my run and decide to run along the 101...then it really started to rain. I half thought I should run back the way I came so I could dip into buildings for a bit of break from the rain but decided to push through and continue my route North to Palomar Airport Rd. i did come across this great tree that had a bit of a shade shape to it so I tucked in for a few minutes then got up the courage to keep going. I knew up a head there was a few options to take refuge in, if needed but I just kept running. I only saw a couple of others runners out there and I thought to myself. "I am hard core"...then laughed to myself because really, who am I kidding? I passed a couple of women who were out for a walk and when I passed we all collectively laughed at ourselves. We knew what we were saying. "What crazy person would be out here walking or even running,? We are crazy and we know it!" what a great way to start the year!
