Dawn Running - Email #2 - Fall Leaves

Hey Listener,

First off, I wanted to make sure you didn't miss the last two episodes.

Ep. 33: Hi, I'm Lost.  Sit down and relax for story time with a handful of stories from times I've been lost during a run and the nice folks from around the world that pointed me in the right direction.  It also covers lots of tips I've learned over the years of how...not to get lost.

Ep. 34: The Hill Run.  Looking to take your running to the next level?  Look no further than the hills around you.  They are the perfect training ground to give you the added physical and mental strength you're looking for.  We'll cover the whats, hows, and whys of hills in this episode.

As I was running earlier this week, I noticed the leaves are changing and falling to the ground.  One of my absolute favorite things is having crunchy leaves under my feet while I run.  It brings me back to my childhood when the smallest things, like big piles of crunchy leaves were all I needed for smiles, giggles, and even joy.  Running brings those little small pleasures back to me in a big way.  Later on that run as I was looking at the beautiful trees and feeling the sun on my face, I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the world and that I get to be a part of it.  I had a moment to say a prayer of gratitude to God for it all.  Running gets me into nature, it brings these beautiful moments that I otherwise too often miss.  It brings me closer to God. That might be strange to hear, but it's true.

I hope you can enjoy the crunchy leaves, beautiful colors, and magnificent world this fall as well.  Give yourself a good run and enjoy the beautiful world we have!

As always, please let me know if you have any running questions or topic requests.  Talk to you next time!
