| Post subject: | I LOVE RUNNING! |
Just returned from a very liberating, mind-clearing, slow and steady 12-mile run (first run since the marathon in Vermont last weekend). Today was a magical run in between races that had no focus, no distance limit, no time limit, or direction. I just ran, then ran some more, legs feeling super-duper. Could have run for another hour, but Timmy hadda pee! Today was especially awesome because my muse must have telepathically connected with me again, since I have a few more ideas rattling around my noggin. And I think tonight, I will start my very first non-fiction piece! Very excited about this sudden new project and feel another consuming adventure! These last couple weeks have been uber productive on the writing front and I can barely get everything down….which I love!!! I will be returning to novel 3, still sitting at 25K words, but not until this non-fiction piece comes to fruition! I love running. I don’t run with an iPod or anything like that, preferring to listen to world around me and the sources of stories that are out there. How things look, sound, feel beneath my feet …. anything. This is the only time I ever disconnect completely with everything and just enjoy the great outdoors and time alone. Just a man and his thoughts … and a few dead frogs, and today, even a field mouse that risked death beneath my right shoe to cross the road. I wonder about a lot of things when I run. Where my life is headed, if my brain will last another year, choices I’ve made, choices I will make. But sometimes, as I run and take in the sites, weird things creep into my brain and become the source of potential material. The sound of a leaf scraping across the ground, the way the wind pummels by my ears in one direction, but with a slight change in direction, absolute silence falls down around me like the lid of a coffin. Today, I passed three small boys playing on a slip and slide. All three had shorts on, but no shoes. However, only two had their shirts off. Did the one wearing the shirt just arrive on this hot and humid day in rural NY? Overprotective mother preventing a sunburn? Embarrassed? Birthmark? Or is mother trying to hide the bruises??? I realized during another daydreaming adventure on mile 8 or so, that every time a vehicle tops the horizon, I really am hoping it’s a car load of women that will show me their boobies! Hah! True story… And a final thought came to me as a car blasted by my at 60 miles an hour…or faster…what would happen if, at the last second, I jumped in front of this car? What would be the expression on the driver’s face? What would the chain of events be following this ghastly scene? Would the driver flee? Would anyone know who I am if I didn’t wear my emergency ID wrist ban? How long would it really take for family and friends to find out? Would I be run over by two tires or four? Would my head split on the windshield or the grill of the hood since I am kinda short… Random thoughts from an addicted runner. Crazy? Maybe. But I really love running! |

No, not crazy. It's all perspective: bank it! When I'm not thinking of work, on my drive to and from work I do my best thinking. |
