So last week I took a vacation. It was unexpected just how much I needed this break from our own reality. Even more unexpected how with 15 people to please, serve, feed and keep happy - somehow the whole affair went off without a hitch, thanks in large part to our wonderful, peace-keeping hosts.
There I was in the midst of a married-in family, one Jorgensen in a sea of Wildsmiths, happy, calm, at peace and finding myself falling back in love with the run. Daily, we would get up, put on our shoes and head off to some amazingly, impossibly beautiful trail or ocean run, a long line of ages, shapes and personalities - wandering through the beauty together. It was a powerful reminder of just how essential it is to get out the door, one foot in front of the other, and move.
