R is for Reminder

This morning’s run took me down the same path the Eugene Marathon followed.
The trees are heavy with green, bending in the wind as I pass under them. There are remnants of last weekend’s race along the way. Bold chalk words with pointed arrows. Even a few Clif shot packs litter the trail.
I’m not in any training mode - just running free, taking in the surroundings. This reminds me of why I run. Not to be the best or better than others; but to feel whole...
Connecting body, mind and soul.

Looking at my running stats so far this year, I’ve also walked 43 miles. I really must buy some proper walking/hiking shoes. Any suggestions?
