Australia Day 19, spirit

Two elementary school student photos
If this is my sister’s 1st grade photo, this is my 5th grade photo. Two years after these photos, i made the Spring Grove Area Junior High School Track & Field varsity team.

i serve others through my roles as husband, father, and teacher. Running brings those roles to life.

To teach is to learn twice.

To serve is to honor the gift of life.

To run is to honor the Universe’s ability to sustain humans.

Running is how we caught food.

Running is how we escaped being food.

Dear running

Sunrise in Orlando
Photo taken this morning, September 10, 2016, an hour after writing this post. Red Dirt Road is barely visible bottom center.

 

Dear running,

Finding more time to pray, finding more things to pray about, and improving the quality (depth) of my prayers are because of you.

Thank you for the gift of focused “free-time” to feed my soul.

Patience is a blessed virtue when used for good

Map My Run screen shot
A couple days ago. Exercise honors the temple housing everything keeping us alive.

 

Chapin began jogging (slower than walking) on Halloween two days ago.

Cheryl began with us yesterday, November 1, 2015.

Patience is a blessed virtue when used for good.

Cheryl and i have known each other since 1979.

After 37 years, to begin running, is a big deal.

The joy in routine

Disney's Monorail
On the run home yesterday, Monorail yellow in a hold pattern.

 

Disney World's Space Mountain
Unique viewing angle of Space Mountain that most never see.

 

Disney University
Safety is as important as Magic at Disney. Yet our Guests have no idea.

 

United States Marines trailer
Cutting through a townhouse complex on the way home.

 

United States Marine pride
United States Marine also appreciates (loves?) Disney (lower right “hidden Mickey”)

 

Secret running path near Disney World
A seasonal shortcut, available during drier weather.

 

The joy in routine is there if we aren’t too busy or distracted to notice. i was simply out for a morning run.

Name calling and stereotyping come with the territory

The halfway point during yesterday’s 11-mile run.

 

Running is easier when we are not over heated. Running shirtless in high humidity helps. You may get called a show off though.

Praying is easier when we are not overly distracted. Praying constantly helps us overcome distractions. You may get called self-righteous though.
