Inner dialogue

What I have discovered about running is that while running a long, solitary run I get so much thinking done. My mind begins to recite poetry to me, figures out how to deal with my friends' drama or work out negative feelings I woke up with. There is nothing like a long, empty road in the dark of dawn to bring out my inner poet. Fears and worries fall away as I listen to the early birds waking up and watch the scurry of small creatures running into the bush as I pass. I always come home with the best ideas and feel like I actually think better all day.
