In my long runs, in my long walks, there is a time when I am just enjoying the sites, and staying in the present, feeling my breathing, listening to the birds and, it is then, that I realize that I am lucky to be experiencing all of those wonderful views, sounds, and smells. Enjoy the run today, stay in the moment. Stay safe.
