morning run

So I'm beginning to think I'll never be a "real" runner.

I'm only a beginner, but I love running so far. But I'm finding it hard to take on the fixed goal mentality of genuine runners. I still haven't run a mile without stopping, but it's no longer because I can't do it physically. It's because there are too many interesting things to see along the way. :-)





One of the advantages I'm finding of running over cycling is that it IS so easy to stop and look at interesting stuff; you don't have to worry about locking up your bike or stashing it somewhere where it won't be stolen.

I usually stop only long enough to take in the way the light hits the lake, or some spring blooms in a park, or checking out an interesting sculpture I hadn't noticed before, sometimes to take a picture. But the stop is long enough to "disqualify" my run as continuous, I'm sure.

But hey, it's my run, isn't it? Or walk/run, whatever I wish to make it. :-)

I decided to go running in the morning today instead of at the end of my workday because Jodi and I are going to see the performance of "Joseph and the Technicoloured Dreamcoat" put on by Allison's school tonight, directed by Allison! Really looking forward to seeing it. :-)

Today's Blatherpics:

I took these photos this morning on my run.

	Scene along the harbourfront.
	Sculpture in a (very) small park as I head through the downtown core toward the harbourfront.
	These stairs beside the Skydome mark the last big "push" in my run before heading home. There are two sets of these in a row.
