I don\u2019t want to make a big deal out of it, but the anniversary of my first breath on this planet\u2019s ocean of oxygen takes place on the 19th of this month, just a few days after this show is available for download.\xa0 It was of course 9 full months prior that I first came to be; and have been growing into a more complex organism ever since.\nAs my complexity increases, so do the ideas that get formed in my admittedly teeny tiny little brain\u2026and like a balloon in the state of inflation, if I don\u2019t get some of these ideas\u2026both good, bad and frankly quite silly\u2026out of the skull within which they are formed\u2026well, like a balloon, something\u2019s going to pop\u2026.and I don\u2019t think you want to be left having to clean up the mess.\nThus we have an episode of this goofy little podcast dedicated to things not necessarily related to running; but let\u2019s go for a run today, you and I\u2026and I\u2019ll do the talking about things that I\u2019m thinking about\u2026the thoughts, opinions, and observations that a soon to be 47 year old fellow runner congers up on a long run.\nSo let\u2019s go for a run today.\xa0 Let\u2019s forget, for a moment, that this is a podcast, and that you\u2019re listening to me with your ear bugs jammed in your head\u2026consider that I\u2019m just like you: although I\u2019m betting you\u2019re a little bit faster, healthier and undoubtedly better looking\u2026.and that we\u2019re just going out for a run together.\xa0 The world is moving on, increasing in velocity as the planet revolves, and orbits, and moves outward ever forward\u2026bringing us specs of life with it; and while there\u2019s no possibility or reason to ever stop that motion let\u2019s go for a run today and create a little motion of our own\u2026.just you and me and that long road before us.\xa0 Let\u2019s go for a run.\nShow Links:Fdip Blog of the Week: \u201cAvalonia\u201d was by Jim Fidler:
