Forget looking at the world through rose colored glasses. I’m a runner and all I see is gold. No not the gold medal kind (finishers medal is just fine with me), but truly seeing the world with a golden glow.
I ran around Lady Bird Lake today and took the trail less traveled, aka east of IH-35. I managed to loose the trail twice, but the pain of those mishaps vanished when I was running with the sun on my back and a golden glow surrounded me. The sun filtered through the amber cypress and sycamore leaves (I’ll take fall colors whenever they get here…even if we had to wait until December) and glistened off the water on both sides of the trail.
I wish I could have captured the light to give all of you some running motivation, but trust me it’s worth it. “My” patch of sycamores/bald cypress is on the north side of the lake between the old Holly Power Plant and Pleasant Valley. There’s also another beautiful section of bald cypress on the south shore behind the Austin American Statesman offices.
Happy trails to you…
