The run was a little speedier today because I needed to get back to watch some neighbor cutie pies. It was fun to pick it up a little and "think faster". Why has it become so easy to live beneath my running potential? I like the way faster feels! After today the price for registration goes up for the Utah Valley Marathon, so I think I will use that $10 savings as an impetus to really commit. Plus I love to commit to great things that lift my horizons. What a gorgeous morning! It was sad to see a freshly killed young deer on the side of the road, pools of bright red, well oxygenated blood not far from his fallen body. Life is precious. I remember volunteering at a blood drive and noticing the great variation in blood color from one donation to the next. The blood taker pointed out how bright red my blood was because I was so active. May we always have bright blood like the deer, to honor and enjoy the gift of life that we have been given. Hope y'all have a beautiful day. |
