I don't know if everybody takes the time to enjoy those little things when they're out running but it's something I always make time for. When I get into the single track trails that are surrounded by ferns and moss covered trees, it's nice and cool and the ground is soft, I stop and take a deep breath and realize how incredibly lucky I am to be there.
All the creeks were flowing today. I was glad I didn't bring my iPod. Just running along I could hear nothing but the water. That's much better than music, in my book.
On today's run I took a little extra time to enjoy everything so beautiful because it is an especially beautiful day to me. I am celebrating another 12 months of sobriety. When I look around and realize how incredibly lucky I am to be doing what I do, I MEAN IT! ;)

I didn't even understand what "Single Track" meant until reading this post. You have some beautiful trails to run on. I enjoy our trails too, but it is soooo different here.
I laughed at the title even before I read the article. Well congratulations on 12 months.
Happy birthday and thanks for letting us share in your amazing run! I laughed at the title too -- thanks for brightening my day!
Wow, first of all congrats on the year mark! That must take a lot of strenght and willpower! 2nd, I am jealous of those trails! How beautiful! I agree with you that sometimes it is nice to leave the music at home and just listen to nature and your breathing when you run!
Never thought such a beautiful running trail existed in this world until I saw the pictures in your post.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Glad your new addiction is a healthy one! Here's to many more "fixes" with you.
Love your HSE (who is feeling much better today!)
You ARE lucky! Those views are amazing!! ;D
amazing pics and CONGRATS :)
Is it already spring time where you live? I'm jealous!
I always get very grateful when I run in nature; a feeling I never have in the city. It's like coming home.
