Run this morning

I just got back from a twenty minute run. I didn't want to go the gym with the weather getting warmer. Its beautiful today and I during the mid and end part of my run today my route took me through some nearby neighborhoods that I have never been through before. I am starting to understand the appeal of running. I covered more area than I expected too and I got a different sense of local exploration that you don't get from a motor vechicle or even a bicycle. I almost turned back because the gout in my right foot is flaring up again. This gout attack hasn't been too bad and I hope to be coming out of it in time for the Aikido seminar this weekend in Boulder. I am going regardless but I don't want to be hobbling off the mat. Last night during Aikido class, I noticed the pain early in the class but the by end, I didn't think about my foot until we were moving the mats and I noticed the pain. Funny how that works, like today's run where I just kept running and after a while the pain became less important.
