Refreshing

Last night the rain was thrashing down and it sounded a little like sleeping in a tent on a wet night but this morning everything was quite dry and sunny. I didn't run until later in the day though because it was very cold and windy - not my favourite conditions.

Mid-afternoon I opted for a short burst of intense activity along the coast path with the dog. An extremely steep climb which I never manage to run but do a sort of jog/walk so that I don't collapse of a heart attack when I get to the top. There are three steep climbs along this route and I noticed the elevation goes up from 30' to 300' above sea level over a short distance. I decided to shimmy down the cliff and run along the beach as there was an inviting expanse of beach below me and then come back along the road making for a varied route.

The smell of the fresh air on my face and the sun lighting up the sea and the beach felt so refreshing.

When I got back to my destination the GPS said I had run 3.8 miles and so I ran to the end of the road and back to the beach to wash the dog in the stream to make it up to 4 miles which sounds better. Going that extra mile so to speak.

Got back not long before dark and had lunch at "tea time" and postponed washing the car .... AGAIN!

The short days and Janathon are changing the nature of my days and how much I can fit but I'm finding it very rewarding doing all this exercise and have a feeling of achievement afterwards. 

GOOD THOUGHTS

Raven brought beaded serpent

And the Alaskan thunder

Realities yet to come

Good thought are good way life

Wrapped in the universe

the unborn sleep in dreamtime

Day in the sun is on its way

Think good thoughts

Thoughts of lightened mind

Dream dreams dreaming brings

Sense rush of new found find

View where harmonies sing

Follow the sky

Into the blue

You are part sky

Sky is part you

There are stars that bring the night

There are thoughts to bring clear sight

Thinking good makes for strong heart

Nourishment for spirit and soul

A good path a good way to give

Belief creates what we believe

Good words

Good thoughts

Good actions

A way human beings live

Raven brought beaded serpent

And the Alaskan thunder

Follow the sky into the blue

You are part sky sky is part you
