Just get out there...

I awoke this morning at 5am to the sound of wind and rain beating against my old uninsulated windows. I had all intentions of staying in the comforts of my down comforter and continuing reading David Peterson's, On the Wild Edge. As the light peaked through my window shades, I realized that I couldn't just sit round all day until my work shift started at noon. So I flipped through a few more pages until I bounced out of bed, guzzled my quart of water and dressed appropriately. Fellow runner, Mr. Bimble, always stated, " There is no such thing as bad weather, just being inappropriately dressed." When it comes to running, this is certainly true. My roommate questioned the fact that I was about to enter the cold, windy + rainy morning. After a quick hello I gave her a smile and was on the pavement making my way up 3rd avenue.
I would venture through the wind up the hills leading to the Mesa. Despite the conditions, I was still in shorts and splashing through puddles as I pounded the dirt roads around the perimeter of the Tree of Life cafe grounds. With the exception of running during snowy nights, running in the rain is possibly my favorite time to be out in nature. Maybe its the motivation that I am one of the only people who is willing to brave the cold and deal with my surrounding. Whatever it is, I find I can run for longer periods of time when it is raining. I feel more in tune with my surroundings and my legs just keep time and cover more ground. After an hour run, I walked over to Red Mountain Foods and picked up about $25 in fresh organic produce. Venturing more into a 80/10/10 lifestyle, I started my day with a half dozen bananas. Eating a diet of high fruits and greens with a low fat intake, gives me excellent energy as well as better digestion and an overall feeling of clearness. My body is feeling top notch right now and I know it will only get better. My main focus has to be on stretching because i realize that it is essential. My body is a bit tight and after pushing myself for 1-2 hours a good stretch will only help me to feel better.
First you see them....

Now you don't....

One Happy Runner!!
