From Runnersworld.com's Daily Kick in the Butt:
"Every day, I stop halfway through my run for five minutes, look around, and enjoy the surroundings. I'm reminded of why I do this and why I love it so much."

It is sometimes hard for me to notice your surroundings when out training but just the other day when I was out solo on my bike, I had this sense of peace that surrounded me. It was lightly starting to rain, I could smell honeysuckle and a cool breeze came along about that time. It was glorious! So when it started pouring shortly thereafter, I didn't mind so much!!!
Beautiful photos too!
I've noticed the same dead snake twice now - ick! :)
