The last few mornings going out for either an early morning walk or run has been very nice. Very calm winds. Bright sun. Beautiful around the lake. This is why I exercise. The peace and calm…taking it all in. Getting time to just think! It is a great way to start the day. I start planning on how I am going to go at the day, and how I am going to get things done as the day unfolds. It is easy to get lost in the view of things, and the quietness. This time of year outside does not even compare to running on the treadmill in the winter time. There is no boredom now.
Take the time to appreciate what nature has to offer. Take the time to really think about it. As Kelsey just recently posted, “take the time to smell the roses!”. One day this will not be here, and the same goes for us. Enjoy what we have now.
The bike trail has benches along the way that you can sit and just watch, so if you get tired, take a break and just sit back and think. This bench is at Jackson Park, looking out at the lake. It is easy to just let your mind go and relax.
I have been doing the exercise for quite a while now, but today I hit another landmark. Consecutive Day #2100! I am not about to stop now. There is still too much to see, too much to do, and a lot more things to think about!
Keep moving everybody!
