As you know I have committed to running, walking, skipping, jumping...doing something for at least one mile outside everyday. Today is January 20 and I have gone 19 straight days and it feels
GOOD!
However, it's not all about running or even moving. Last night I was out running around 11:30 at night. The sky was clear, the moon - while not full - was bright as were the stars...oh yeah...and Jupiter! I was out on a lonely country road all by myself. The night was very quiet - except for the cow (or horse - it was dark I couldn't tell) who snorted at me. I believe I surprised him as much as he surprised me!
THE NIGHT WAS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL
And that is the added benefit of what I am doing...clearing my mind and enjoying life for life itself.
What GREAT therapy!
Being under the stars just gets you in touch with nature, a higher being, the universe...whatever you want to call it. It gave me
ENERGY
and renewed my spirit.
Try it sometime...not necessarily running at night but just go outside on a nice quiet, clear night and stare at the sky.
AMAZING!

Still Running! (Well...still moving at least)
It is January 13 - a Monday - and I am still doing at least a mile a day.
Woo Hoo!
This has been a great idea so far as just keeping the streak alive forces me to put on my shoes and step out of the house. Once out and moving I am glad I put my shoes on. There have been a couple of times already where my motivation was really low but...
gotta respect the streak
I have also become reacquainted with the night sky - I love it!
Jupiter is in the morning sky right now! So
BIG
So
BRIGHT
I saw some deer tonight as I ran. Three of them actually. When I first saw the movement in the trees my first thought was
COYOTES
We have coyotes in the area and some have been spotted in my neighborhood before. I was wondering what to do if they came to check me out.
Glad I didn't have to come up with an answer. I realized they were deer and kept on putting one foot in front of the other. This endeavor has been a blessing so far. I haven't had as many headaches, I am losing a little bit of weight, I am sleeping better and...
MORE ENERGY!
A Good Thing so far for the
ENERGIZER IN CHIEF

A New Year!
It's a NEW YEAR!
Woo Hoo!
A chance to re-start, re-engage or simple begin the things you've been putting off but wanting to do. One thing I have been thinking about doing (I originally typed "trying" but has Yoda says there is no try only do or not do) is to start a running streak. This idea was given to me by David Pollack, a former defensive lineman for the Georgia Bulldogs. Now, he didn't give it to me directly but through his twitter account. See twitter can have positive contributions!
His idea is to get out and move at least
ONE MILE
EVERYDAY
That's right - run, walk, skip, hop, jump, dance at least
ONE MILE
EVERYDAY
What a Positive way toward self-improvement!
If you have never run before you may not believe that running can be a self-improvement program on many different levels but as a casual runner (I have run 1 full marathon, a couple half-marathons and many 5-10ks) I can tell you it can. I like running alone without headphones so that I can just let my mind wander.
So...who's in with me!?
