Here it is Tuesday night. Waiting for the blizzard to hit. School's already cancelled for tomorrow. Prediction-12-18 inches. North Jersey Master's Thursday running group already cancelled also. Weather!!! How it changes everything on a dime. So quickly. Changes plans; changes lives.Totally uncontrolable. We who think we have so much control over things are at the mercy of the weather.
If I want to run tomorrow I can't-because of the weather. Or maybe I can. But will I?
This for some reason makes me think of the people in Haiti and other parts of the world that have been ravaged by natural disastors. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost in Haiti. The entire country has been turned inside out and upside down. It will be years before it has recovered if it every really does. It's such a poor country to begin with. These people had nothing and now this. We all need to do what we can to help. Give to a charity for Haiti. Running means nothing. This is life. Rather many lives. Its amazing how people are still being pulled out of the rubble. A man was saved I heard, who had been buried for something like 22 days. I can't even think about the fact that I cant run tomorrow--how selfish. There are so many who need basic human necessities and here I am thinking of myself and running.
