Today's Crowd

A long day running through the woods. Okay, not too long of a day but long enough to get the best of it - 25k in around 2:35 or so. And then a few hours waiting for my 50k people to come in - that's when the real fun started. I love the local running community and it's so much fun to be part of. I'm not one for joining much and have always almost isolated myself along the edge of crowds. There was a time when I considered joining a Hermitage or Ashram in order to lead a quiet, contemplative life. But some crowds draw you in - and today's race crowd was one of them. I can honestly say it was as much fun, as enjoyable as the solitary time I had running in the woods. Maybe I need to join in more often?

Peace,
Eric
