Cautiously, I stepped
out for a run on the official first day of winter. Being in southern Florida I
didn't expect the climate to be too off putting. However, I ran on the beach in
Miami some years ago. The temperature was 55 degrees that morning, so this time
I was prepared and brought along a pair of gloves. Caution quickly turned to
euphoria. A gentle breeze moved the warm air across me like a tropical
welcoming committee. I ditched the gloved and took off running.
While out on the road I
reflected on 2013, which had been an outstanding year for Shannan and me, the
surroundings and how delightful it was to be out in the early morning doing one
of the things I love the most. Life has been very good of late. We are happy,
healthy and have great things happening in our careers. I have been reflecting
quite a bit lately. I entered far fewer postings on this blog in 2013 compared
to all previous years. This was an intentional move. I spent more time thinking
about why I exercise and what it means to me than writing about it.
In 2014 I think the
postings will branch out a little to include more than just health and fitness,
but always be tied to traveling and making the most of the human experience.
Live the life imagined. Run.
Tom
