We do not have official practice on Wednesdays so we have the option to run whenever and with whoever, so for this weeks inspiration, I decided to run on my own for practice on wednesday instead of with the team. I also decided to run on my own at 6 am which was way earlier than I needed to, and would allow me to watch the sunrise on my run. Waking up this early sucks, even if I get a lot of sleep the night before, but once I was awake and ready, I felt really awake yet relaxed. I ran a somewhat hilly six mile run called turtle creek, and once I was at the top of turtle creek, I could see the orange orb of the sun just over the horizon. It was a clear day out and it was a really beautiful view. Running alone allows me to enter a sort of flow state where time seems to pass by quickly, and my mind drifts. It feels like meditating. At the end, I showered and went to the caf and took an hour to eat breakfast instead of my usual 30 minutes that always feels rushed. Switching up my morning routine inspires me to think about other changes I could make to my daily routine, and how they could make me better.
