It's been said many times by many folks, “Running is a gift.” I concur. Running is a gift which allows for good health and a superb way to explore of the world around us. I have had the opportunity to run in many places from the Grand Canyon to Mount Cook, New Zealand. This spring, if all goes according to plan, I'll visit the Salisbury Plain in England. As you may know, this is the location of Stonehenge. If at all possible, I'll run there. Someday I hope to run on along the Great Wall of China. That is high on my list. Unfortunately, the list is a long one.
For me, it's not just a check it off kind of list. As I wrote at the beginning, I value running as a gift, a great blessing in my life. To combine running with travel and study of sacred places is deeply spiritual to me. I'm grateful for the wherewithal to engage in such endeavors. I’m mindful socio-economics doesn’t allow everyone to engage in this sort of thing. Oh that everyone who desired could have the time and resources to travel, think, study and reflect. I delight in the chance to recall everything from the ground, hills, water, climate and communities that make places memorable while out for a run.
Experience. Run.
