Modern-Age Marveling
One of the reasons I have this-here blog is so that I can interact with a community of runners that extends far beyond my local neighborhood. The technological marvel that is the blogging world allows us to share ideas with those willing to go public with their own and anyone willing to put up with our blog-drivel. Personally, I enjoy it. I live in the wilderness and there are very few runners around me. With the community of blogging runners that exists at my keyboard fingertips, I don't feel like the isolated runner in the wilderness anymore.
That said, I had the opportunity to meet a fellow running blogger yesterday. She's a regular commenter here on my blog, and I've been reading her blog for a while as well. We met up for a run in Swan Valley, Idaho, which seems to be the half-way point between where she lives and where my sweetie lives. We ran along a rolling, snow-packed forest service road next to the Snake River. It was a gorgeous morning: crisp, calm, and decidedly sunny. Our conversation flowed wildly among topics, and the run flew by most enjoyably.
I couldn't ask for a better way to pass the morning and I hope we get to do this again soon! Thanks to the blogging community, I've made a new running friend.
