Dr. Seuss is credited with, “Don’t cry because it’s over,
smile because it happened.” That is how
I feel about cross country season. In fact,
there are days when I smile because it’s over! The changing of the seasons is
always a challenge for me. I am never
quite ready for it to be this hot, cold,
or windy. Running doesn’t escape the
challenge. I have to adjust from the
very social and consistent running of cross country practice to a solitary and
admittedly sporadic winter running regimen. It isn’t sad, it’s just different
and it takes me a week or two to adjust.
I have rediscovered one of my forgotten running buddies,
Alan Jackson. Because I now have an
iPhone, I use the MapMyRun app and have a very encouraging female voice in my
ear every half mile to give me pace and distance updates. This week I changed
things up a bit and included Brad Paisely in my tight circle of running
friends. Here is one of my new favorite tunes!
We
can fight change, or we can embrace it.
The choice is ours.
