Running Easy

It is amazing how valuable the time is when you are out on the road running. I have just returned from a shortish run this morning as we again reminded how amazing this time is. Nicky and I went for our regular Friday run which takes about 45 minutes. The weather was perfect - blue skies but nice and cool. Yet the really value, besides continuing to build fitness is the time to think. By the end of our 45 minutes we had covered topics from finances, kids, future plans...and more. It's just amazing how clearly you can think when you're out in the fresh air - and if you have a running partner, there is the added bonus of being able to talk about your thoughts and ideas. Most of my ideas for things I want to do, or solutions to problems come when I am running. The reason is that you are giving yourself time to think - something we have little of nowadays. Also you are outdoors away from your normal environment. Finally you are breathing in gulps of fresh air, the perfect tonic for the brain.

So, next time you have to think or plan or decide....get your shoes on and go out for a run.
