It has been a great week, this week. Things have been a little crazy at work, but I have been able to train and get out there several times during the week. This morning I got out at 5:00 am and went on a 10 mile training walk along the beach. So the totals for this week are 19.34 miles and it took me around 5:16 hours. Great start and I am excited about the progress.
Today it was an incredible walk. Nancy, Marilyn , Rita and I walked in a group. We did the usual FIT 10 mile route. We started at the park went to A1A, walked south to Las Olas then we crossed Las Olas bridge heading west to the end of the first canal, we headed backwards and came back to A1A and continued south. went through the like community of Harbor something or other and went over the 17Th Street causeway bridge to Eisenhower and back through the Yankee Clipper back to the park. It was an interesting walk, the girls talked and I listened. I learned a couple of things this morning. If you are walking on the beach early some mornings you might notice it a few degrees warmer then normal. I learned that it is because of Nancy's hot mule(well think of another word used for mule). Her water bottle gets really warm because it keeps rubbing up against it. I also learned that Rita loves Cuban food and Marilyn likes to keep quiet.
As we headed back, we came across this incredible sunrise. Of course I started to snap away capturing the image. My group kept on walking and then it was when a true revelation hit me. Here I was training my physical side, but I being a complex being also have a spiritual side. Today I trained my spiritual side also. I felt that God was telling me that in creating this beautiful sunrise for me I was really ignoring by taking a snapshot and racing on. So I sat there on the beach wall and contemplated the sunrise for awhile. If this would be the last sunrise I would see, how could I describe it? I finally got up and continued my walk but at a slower pace. I had to enjoy the morning that had been created for me. As I reached the park, my friends were alarmed because they thought something had happened to me. But I was fine, and felt better in my training because I felt I had exercised my whole being. So don't forget get out there and be active but also go inward and look and exercise your spiritual side too this week.
