RUNNER'S REWIND

Thought I'd share something I wrote from May 21, 2012 (this photo is on Westwood Ridge, not Morrell Sanctuary, but it's still one of my favourite places to run). Here it is. "Exercising and running outside makes me thank and praise God... especially on a day like today! Just finished running up through Morrell Sanctuary and back to my apartment. Beautiful morning air. Scents of spring. Smells of tree bark, plants and water. God is good. I feel gratitude, peace and happiness. I always get a sense of renewal when I run. My heart is beating, the rhythm of my stride is formed, I push myself in short distances and up small hills. I feel sweat and heat coming off my flesh. The blood is flowing. I'm alive and in some type of 'zone.' I feel prepared today, with this experience and these memories still fresh in my mind."

'BE A MAN'

Don't be afraid of your farmer's tan. It's unique strength. Don't be afraid of your work clothes. They make you more honourable. Don't be afraid to run a business without employees. Don't be afraid of working real hard every day, besides training. Be confident with your body. It takes humility to keep physically healthy. Dismantle the phony mindset of churches. Deconstruct the banker mindset. Destroy the immoral attitudes of the sell-out music industry. Smash harmful pharmaceutical psychology. Smash inconsiderate mindset. Smash conforming media mindset. Smash rich mindset. Bench press a lot. Squat a lot. Shoulder press a lot. Move a lot. Run and sprint a lot... (I have a sense of time passing when I run. It's a feeling that's able to remind me and comfort me that the challenges and problems of the day will pass. I'm thankful I have the opportunity to enjoy outside on my terms, in some way, at least for a brief time). Be grateful for nature. Be grateful for your body. Let your light shine.
