How did I get here?

It is interesting, to say the least, to even try to begin to reflect on some of the inflection I have been able to do during runs. This was never more true than this morning - a balmy 35 degrees in downtown Greenville. No worries. A pair of long sleeve shirts, shorts, and my running shoes were all I needed today. Skip on the mp3 player today, though.

This journey - it still amazes me. I learn so much about myself almost daily. Today I learned perhaps my most valuable lesson, yet it is something I have known for a long time. These things I know to be true: I need to take care of myself as no one can better operate my self-care plan than me; I need to take care of my body, inside and out; and I need to ensure that this body in motion continues to stay in motion.

The final lesson learned during the brisk run this morning? There is no finish line.
