I ran for the first time in a week, along a dirt trail along the Mississippi with amazing views of the water. It's only a mile long and so I did some sprints along the paved trail, which has no good views, but it connects and provides that additional mile to bring my total up to 3 plus today.
I love that trail, it's one of my absolute favorites. It's a gift I feel that running has given me. I used to only run on treadmills or in neighborhoods. Trail running is a hundred times better. Wherever I move next, I hope I can find trails like this one. Despite the harsh wind and 30 degree weather, the scenery is breathtaking and afterward I feel at peace with myself and nature.
When I run on it, I feel like I am right where I need to be.
