Running (Yes, this again)

There were a few weeks towards the end of my Iraq tour during which my running schedule almost ceased to exist for various reasons beyond my control. I am now back on track and running several times each week. I am posting about running again because I had a great run this morning and I wanted to rave about it a bit.
One of the myriad of aspects I like about running is that your mind and body can dissociate. The legs are on auto-pilot and the mind is free to think about anything or nothing. This is how my run went this morning; I barely remember actually traveling the distance as my mind was wandering. It is really a great opportunity to think.
