Evening run

There's so much more to an evening run than a physical workout. It's an opportunity to interact with the world. I got to save a guy from finding his car battery dead tomorrow morning by pointing out he'd left his lights on as he was headed inside his house. I got to retrieve a bouncing ball two kids were playing with that had rolled to the other side of the street, which I was on. It earned me a smile and a big thank you from one of the kids. I also got lots of nods and friendly greetings from various people I passed. And then there were the geese, flying in perfect formation overhead. And the evening sun on the trees. A couple of dads with their kids at the neighborhood school, tossing a baseball around. So many good reasons to get outside and move.
