A sole-ful run

We have had incessant drenching rain for three days in a row, which has resulted in severe flooding.
As I went out for a long run this evening, water got into my shoes and threw a wet sole on my run...Nevertheless, what's bad for the sole can be good for the soul. Cleared up the fog in my mind.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

The key is to run when the soil is wet. The trail is easy to leave.

Some quotes on running. I don't know these people, but I assume they are all runners.

------------------------------

Running is like mouthwash; if you can feel the burn, it's working.
Brian Tackett

Life is short... running makes it seem longer.
Baron Hansen

When people ask me why I run, I tell them, there's not really a reason, it's just the adrenalin when you start, and the feeling when you cross that finish line, and know that you are a winner no matter what place you got.
Courtney Parsons

People don't know why we run, but it's the hard work you put into practice, and the reward you get from the race.
Courtney Parsons

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise... it's a consistent reward for victory!

I believe in the runner's high, and I believe that those who are passionate about running are the ones who experience it to the fullest degree possible. To me, the runner's high is a sensational reaction to a great run! It's an exhilarating feeling of satisfaction and achievement. It's like being on top of the world, and truthfully... there's nothing else quite like it!
Sasha Azevedo

Running has never failed to give me great end results, and that's why I keep coming back for more!
Sasha Azevedo

Running is one of the best solutions to a clear mind.
Sasha Azevedo

My greatest ideas stem from running.
Sasha Azevedo

Every run is a great run!

People ask why I run. I say, "If you have to ask, you will never understand". It is something only those select few know. Those who put themselves through pain, but know, deep down, how good it really feels.
