Run Forest

As I get my running clothes on first thing in the morning ( just to make sure I actually going running) I always go through the same series of thoughts...I'm too tired to do this, I have to ask my mom to watch baby AGAIN, and last but not least I am not seeing the results I want with my body so why bother.
But somehow I always end up pushing back my mental blocks and stepping out onto the roadway and begin to run, I don't run anywhere particularly beautiful or stunning. It is mostly along a fairly busy road with big shoulders or a large sidewalk. So, I have wondered many times why? Why do I still do it?
I don't know why many times, but if during those times I were to really think about it I would remember the moments of silence. I have my earbuds in just case I need a boost of energy, but when the music is not playing the earbuds block out the sounds of the world and only leaves the consistent rhythm of me breathing. It becomes surreal as the world moves around you yet you are only in tune with the most simple function we perform, breathing.
It may sound bizarre but it always brings me back to the basics of my life. And lets admit it, sometimes in life we just need to breathe.
