Things I love about running today:

Waving to other runners. The instant bond that forms because we're enduring the same misery and experiencing the same triumph.

The only footprints in the snow i see on my way back are the footprints i made on my way out.

Hills. They remind me that I'm a living creature and definately a breathing creature.

When a blister breaks on the final mile or two of a long run. One last test to get through.

Meeting with some unfortunate frigid puddles of water and keeping them in my shoe for 5 miles.
