Running in the dark

I try to run 4 times a week.
Before you are impressed let me remind you I used the word TRY in that statement.
I'm pretty good at 2 times a week and the occurrences of 3 times are increasing. Misty, Barak and I usually go walking before and sometime after his bath I will hit the road for a good 25 minute run around the neighborhood.


As I was running tonight I realized that I was outside at a much later time than I was allowed to be out as a kid and a teenager. And more than that I was out on a school night (LOL). What changed? I got older, a little more responsible and the fact that I was not looking to toilet paper anyone's house has to have something to do with the equation.

With maturity brings more freedom, with more freedom comes the need to develop the necessary skills to maintain growth. As we grow we experience deeper levels of pain and pleasure. It's all part of the adventure we call life. Much of the time the pain and pleasure we experience can be direclty linked to choices that we made due to our freedom.

Just a rough thought that I had while jogging and looking for houses to toilet paper.
