Running in the morning has me appreciate all the choices that come later in the day. The choices I make after running seem healthier, wiser and kinder. This morning felt leisure like a weekend, but in truth I have a busy and hectic day ahead. Before my run I felt a little overwhelmed with my “to-do” list but now I feel blissful enough to achieve it all. To put one foot in front of the other seems so simple, yet the rewards are deep and infiltrate into every aspect of our being. I almost passed up my morning run because of the heat and a million things to do. I’m sure glad I didn’t, because it put a silver lining on the rest of my day.
