Great run today. I never vary from my trail runs, but today, well, my family is out of town and it was a crazy day filled with meetings and appointments. I ALMOST skipped my run, but I didn't.
Got home, leashed up the dog, threw on my Vibram Five Fingers and opened the door. It was 10pm when I walked outside. I ALMOST headed back in to just go to bed, but I didn't.
I ran the bike lane at the side of a 5 mile loop around my home. I live in a very quiet mountainous area with a star-filled sky. It ALMOST took my breath away. I tried teaching my kids about full moons, waxing and waning moons, etc... but they didn't get it. So I told them waxing and waning are ALMOST full moons. I looked up while running and enjoyed the stars and noticed it was an ALMOST full moon. I felt peace at my place in the universe as I continued to run.
My area is nestled around a mountainous golf course. With my trusty k-9 by my side we headed onto a very dark golf course. Here's why:
All day big clouds rolled through the Valley threatening to rain. It hasn't rained her in three months. At one point is ALMOST rained. I was thrilled, hoping it would pour, so I could hit the puddles and run through the rare mud bog. It didn't rain. So my excitement to run in water and mud ALMOST didn't happen until the golf course was being watered and I had endless wet grass and mud. It was an ALMOST turned MOST!
So, here I am. Home. Enjoying dinner - salmon salad. A perfect ending to an ALMOST day. Rest assured, there's nothing ALMOST about my dinner.
