Bestest Run Ever!! *am i in a movie?????

ok so the title of this entry is a bit strange, i know.

But, this morning i woke up (after some crazy dreams...) and was SO EXCITED to go running and skip swimming. (gasp!). the sun was shining and it wasnt very cold out, at all!!

i started my usual running route, and started getting a bit down cuz my shin splints were acting up again, and i most certainly did NOT want to quit early and head back. so, i kept on truckin.

going up hill somehow seemed to relieve the pain. after about 15 warm up, i decided to try some new territory and headed down a couple new roads to see where they lead. Also, Barbel told me about some nature running area near Beachy Head/the coast...and i was in search of this mysterious nature for my run!

I found it and started running through the path from the road along the coast. Once i got past the shrubbery and trees and hills blocking my view, it was breathtaking!! felt like i was in a movie or something and just running about free and easy on the beautiful coast of some magical place.......

Now, it is important to remember that i had been listening to Coldplay songs all along my run today. The funny/awesome part about my run (other than it lasting 55 min ;D) was that at certain times during my running a certain song would play or lyrics being sung and would coincide with where i was running!
*For instance, as i was pushing myself up a straight grassy path towards the top of a hilly path in which i could only see the top of the hill and sky, i heard "and in the end we lie awake and we dream of making our escape" which seemed really cool cause it felt like i didnt know where the path would lead, but it sure was gonna be beautiful!! *and then the next example, is when i was heading back to the start of the path and i looked up in the distance and saw a pretty steep hill that i would need to run up.....at this moment a song played 'when you try your best but you dont succeed'....which summed up how i felt about that stupid hill (though, in the end, there was a less steep hill that i decided to climb ;)

so, sorry if this entry was lame for reading, but the entire experience this morning was unreal. Standing at the edge-ish of a cliff with eyes closed, coldplay singing, and the warm breeze was a personal encounter with God. and i just couldnt keep the amazingness to myself!

peace out home dogs.
