Quiet

Running on the trail gives me quiet time - a time of rest. Sitting doesn't rest me like it does most people. On the trail there is a time for meditation, reflection and prayer, a calmness that only true nature can provide. So few people take advantage of the simple yet complex natural world. It is the world I like best.

In the Moment

I took In the Moment from trail running.  I was running around the Manasquan Reservoir in NJ on one of the single-path trails, tripped and fell.  I know trail running and know that you have to pay attention to roots and rocks or bad things can happen.  You can't be in a daze like you can on the road.  You have to be In the Moment!  Thus, the start of this blog.  I also believe that while running anywhere, being In the Moment enhances the run, brings it and the surroundings to life.  It stimulates both the mind and body.  Through this blog I will try to capture some of those moments.
