I am a person that gets great joy from the simple things. Today my simple things were threefold - shorts weather in January, new shoes and James Taylor music.
On Sunday I was dressed like I was going to run the Iditarod with multiple layers. Today it was 57 degrees. I love shorts weather in January.
I heard a news report that the average woman owns 27 pairs of shoes. This is all shoes including running, sandals, dress shoes, boots, and casual shoes. I went to my closet to count my shoes. I learned three things: 1) I am above average, 2) I need to clean out my closet and get rid of shoes I don't wear, and 3) I have a brand new pair of Brooks Ghost in the box. Sometimes I buy running shoes if I see a good price and stick them in the closet until I need them. This pair got pushed to the dark corner and forgotten about. Today I ran in new shoes. It was fabulous.
Conversation with my daughter last year:
Me: Sometimes I listen to music when I run.
Jen: What do you listen to?
Me: James Taylor
Jen: Mom, you don't listen to James Taylor when you run. It will make you run slow. You need something fast.
Me: But I like James Taylor.
Jen made me a music mix which I ran to a couple times but I prefer James Taylor.
Today I did a 5 mile easy run while listening to James Taylor.
