Evening Run
October 27, 2010
I went on a run last night with Sophie. HJ and I go walking together almost every day, but sometimes it is nice to push yourself a little bit and to just plain sweat. I find running is a good way to clear the mind and pray. Now, there were a few things about last nights run that caused me to pray a little extra harder: (1) It is hunting season and I was running in the woods. Sure it was dark and hunters weren’t supposed to be out, but you never want to assume; (2) It had rained yesterday and there were many puddles; (3) It was very mild, making the possibility that snakes were out and about very real (I was sure hoping that Mark 16:18 is original because I was sure claiming it). But, alas, I got home safe and sound without a single out of the ordinary happening other than some wet running shoes.
Glad to hear it. Sounds like a good run.
I have started wearing a blaze orange vest when I ride since it’s ‘that’ time of year..
Also, last nite was my first ride with bicycle headlight-tail lights. They worked great and I got home about 25 minutes after sunset..
Good idea to get some lights, especially with the days getting so short.
I let Sohpie run off the leash when we’re in the woods, but when we’re running in the neighborhood, I feel like the guy in the picture above . . . the dog is taking him on a run!
