Grinning, Doug. Your post yesterday also resonated with me.

Aw thank you so much, my friend! As far as routines . . . sometimes it’s easier for me to dip my toe into the proverbial water instead of thinking I gotta fall all the way into the deep water, you know?

Sigh–re the 25 years by the lake. The lake pictured above is 5 min. from my home and the waters calm me.

So good to see you!

Yes–yes!! You’re one of the only people who has ever written about that weird nostalgia, or wistfulness, for things that have never been (but might become)! Thank you so much, my friend! And my runs are all over the place, but even the tough ones offer moments that I either can treasure or can learn from.

So good to see you here!

This sounds like one of those rare, beautiful moments where you manage to be in the moment, absolutely, completely, while also feeling that bubble of emotion in your gut that signals a nostalgic memory as well as that odd, undefinable something that is a kind of reverse-nostalgia about the future. I hope all your runs are this lovely.

It’s awesome you’re out there for a run. I’m having a hard time getting back into a routine after completely over indulging all summer. Middle age has it’s challenges. I fancied your post both because it’s well written and your photo’s. We lived at a lake for 25 years and I miss the view’s at times.
