Mid morning, rain, sprinkles, rain, windy, lots of wind, colder. About 7 C today with the wind colder. My favorite weather to run in. Favorite, but have to let that go, it won't be that way tomorrow. 12k today on the usual route. Really thought I would be much sore than I was. It was a light little trip. However, I've developed some tightness over the course of the day in some weird places, behind the right knee and up the inner right leg. Stretching, we'll see. Run even easier tomorrow.
With the rain and wind and wet streets you could really feel the fall/autumn closing in on Kyiv. Everywhere were yellow leaves having fallen from the trees. This were very vivid colors, since I was mindful of my foot plant which makes me usually look about 6 ft ahead of me to the ground I saw lots of yellow, light green and green and yellow leaves.
One leaf went for a ride. About half way through the run a leaf came falling down from the wind and the rain, real big, about 6-8 inches in size, bright yellow. It attached itself to my leg and ran with me for a 200 meters. Then the wind took it away. Nothing is permanent.
a little 3 minute loving kindness before I went out the door. Worked with mindfulness of steps a large portion of the way. Later I realized I had not had one unwholesome thought the entire run. Following the mind to find out why. Or shouldn't I just let that go and move one? Is this the kind of day runners cling to? Not clinging creates space.
The leaf was fun to run with for a bit.
