an unforeseen freedom. i forgot to charge up my garmin watch last night. i remember this morning. too late at this point. so i just ran. when i stopped i didn't have to push a button. when i started i didn't have to push a button. i wasn't looking at my watch to see if i was on pace. i didn't know how fast i was going or how far. at first i thought 'what am i doing?' but then i found a peace, a tranquility. i think i have to get in the habit of doing this every now and again.
the morning was so beautiful. a thick fog hovering over everything, trying unsuccessfully to soften the brightness from the trees. i loved the contrast of this. the push and the pull. the greyness and the color mixing harshly together. it was one of those mornings that i wish i could have just run for hours and hours.
in the cemetery, i saw out of the corner of my eye, a grey blurr running towards me. i jumped slightly breaking stride. thinking it was a dog or something. ended up being a squirrel. their tails get so bushy in the fall, doubling their size.
on one of the streets, three fire engines, an ambulance, and a few police cars where around a house. one fireman was on a ladder sawing into the house. not sure what was going on. fire, accident?
had a good stretch of sleep last night . . . six lush beautiful hours. haven't slept that long without waking up for over a month.
i feel awake. or is it the espresso?
i had to visit mapmyrun. a place i haven't been since i got the garmin. i forgot how annoying that is.
