Triple Hit: 10k humpday, V-Day, Ash Wednesday

This morning was a double hit of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday. I can't remember when the two came together. Actually its a triple hit because it's 10k humpday. For a.m. run my Valentine's day gift to myself was to run an extra mile which made today a 7 mile run. For the first day of lent, since this is Ash Wednesday I was thinking and reflecting on the 40 days and 40 nights ahead and the things I need to do to be a better person. Lent is about fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.

This is how I do Wednesday today. While out I did see two men running in the a.m. as well. I wonder if they think of running the way I do. It's social, cultural, political, and spiritual on many levels.

Plus after yesterday and all the shit- show racist policies that man in the white house made, I needed to have an outlet for my anger and disgust. 

This morning a lot of thoughts, reflections, and processes were happening.
