rainy run

Got my 10-mile run in today between the raindrops. I headed out the door with a bit of a bad attitude. It was raining and cold and I was a wimp. About 5 blocks into it I warmed up and felt great the entire time. I had to leave the ipod at home and enjoyed hearing the sounds of the rain and enjoyed the beautiful, bright green trees and grass. At one point coming from under the 35W bridge I noticed that I was completely surrounded by trees and it was almost as if I was deep in a forest. Not a house, car or road in sight, yet I was smack in the middle of the city. Just a running path, trees and the sound of light rain. The word that came to mind - bliss.
