I'm feeling incomplete. How can that be? Let's see: a drink with Gail & Andy on Friday night. Breakfast with Diane & Cody on Saturday followed later by a trip to Bath's Redneck Fishing Tourney. Sounds like a nice family weekend.
What's missing? Answer : Saturday morning's run! My right foot started feeling uncomfortable on Friday evening. I expect that stepping hard into one of Buddy's holes may have been the cause. I decided to not go out for my planned 6 mile adventure on Saturday & now feel like something with my weekend is incomplete.
I never thought that I would be missing the sweating & cramping that resulted from an adventure on the blacktop. How could I know that I would look forward to the one on one time with Trigger? I miss seeing the level of the water in the field waterways. I haven't seen which corn fields have changed from the lush green to the drying shades of brown. My iPod songs haven't been sung outloud. I've realized that I miss my time running, singing & reflecting.
This very minor setback may well have been a milestone. It may have came at a point where I was taking my Saturday morning training for granted and not realizing that this solitude with nature was an experience that was important to my inner-being.
