After dreaming I was attacked by a tiger, a series of short events (I overslept) lead to not getting out the door for planned trail runs (yes runs). Needless to say, my mood was somber. You see, if I don’t get it in the early morning, it’s tough for me to fit in a run, especially a trail run (because they take longer). Hubby starts work late morning, and I need to be home in time to watch our boys.
Hubby assured me that he’d make time for me to run later. And at an agreed upon time I left the home and hit the trails at about 3:15 PM. The weather was quite warm, but oh so bearable. I loved it. I felt strong and joyful as I ran my short(ish) out-and-back up and down rolling hills to the Top of the World, where I overlooked the Pacific Ocean. Although I missed out this morning, those series of events lead to a glorious run. Series of events often do that!

It is strange how sometimes random series of events shape our lives.. those apple look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Kate. The apples are delicious. They're called "Hollywood" apples. I had never heard of them before. Now I have a fridge full of them.
