I was amazed as I tried to get out the door today how technology and running seem to oppose each other. Its my day off so I started prepping to run at about 9:30, but I didn't get out the do until 10:20. All it took was a little facebook here and a little blog check there and before I knew it, almost an hour had blown by and I still hadn't started my run. Granted, part of that was a welcome phone call from my dad, but everything else seemed to be pulling me in away from my run. Isn't that crazy? Technology is great, but it sure is magnetic. Eventually we'll all have our own personal extension cords. Ok, that may be a little too science-fiction. But in any case, I'm glad I got my run in (I ultimately just brought my phone along with me so I could text and call during my rest times. Sad but true).
Today I saw a woodpecker. They sure have dramatic wings. I think I startled it with my clomp, clomp, clomp of my pink and white Asics. He flitted to a further telephone pole when I passed him. I love the "wildlife" part of running outside and hearing the rustling of something in the tall grass and the dripping water of melting snow. It's a beautiful day to be outside, exercised, and unplugged (well, at least, mostly unplugged anyway).
