I found the energy to jog today. I only had to work around eight hours and had a hair appointment to look forward to. I jogged down Belle Street and onto the bike trail, crossing the road construction and narrowly missing being run over by some truck with chunks of old concrete in it.
I decided to cross the walking bridge over the river rather than taking my usual path along the river's south side and up the steep, grueling hill that comes out by the park next to the beautiful haunted mansion.
As I jogged, at first very slowly, over the bridge I was amazed by the beauty of the day. I felt like I could keep jogging forever. I was so enthused by the beauty around me that I did not even feel like I was apart of my body rather I felt like I was in a vehicle or a bubble and looking out. I was kinda reminded of that eye of London contraption and that I was looking out from a glass bubble onto a beautiful view.
I kept jogging faster and faster feeling completely at ease. The sky was a light calm blue, the shone but not too harshly and the sky was dotted with puffy white clouds. Down far below me was the slowly flowing brown river and all around me were the green trees, grasses and plants. In front of me where the bridge was to end and meet with a curve in the path thus creating a wall of greenery it appeared a spot light shone, guiding me there almost even though I knew it was just a simple play of light.
It was a perfect moment, and I felt completely relaxed. That is one of the reasons I enjoy my time walking, jogging or riding my bike on the trails, it allows me to completely relax, slow my mind and forget everything, just become a passenger with no needs.
