It was a desperate effort + Led Zeppelin Mothership + perfect 60° F + beautiful sky + feeling as if something needed to go right. The result was 6 miles of running, 1 mile of walking and a lot of thinking.

Fighting with my wife and spending all day alone makes me reflective. I know that I’m a selfish person, but today I learned a little about how stupid I’ve been. I think I’ve been living for different dreams for the past 10 years. The tragedy is my present life is the best life I can imagine.

So, I want to think more about living in the present, rather than looking forward (or backward) to some grand accomplishment. I want a new goal: to value what I have more than what I don’t, to love my wife and kids more than the wind I’ve been chasing.

I just hope I can follow through.
