Earth Day Inspiration

Yesterday was Earth Day. That means that everybody was supposed to be a little more conscious of their surrounding world and that they are supposed to start a new chapter in their life in regards to how they impact the planet.

For me, this meant running. It's free, it's in the open, you get to see the scenery without any barrier (like a car window) and there is fresh air rushing past my face. I enjoyed my run so much that I am going to make the effort to do this three days each week...in place of the electricity-wasting exercise equipment.


Besides the exercise factor of running, I really enjoyed being out and about in my neighborhood, not just in my yard. There are so many trees and gardens in bloom right now that as I run, it kind of feels like I'm trekking through an impressionist painting. You know how impressionism can be quite blurry, but you know what it is and you know that it's beautiful? That is what I see when I run. I don't think that my brain can process images at the lightning speed that I move (very slow lightning).

Anyways, my Earth Day running experience was really inspiring and encouraging. I hope I can keep this up. I'll let you know how it goes.


PS: I know that this isn't related to sprucing up your garden or home, but it's about self improvement too.
