Broke in my new running shoes (tossed my old ones after February's Swamp Romp) and a new running playlist on my shuffle last night. It all amounted to the best run ever.
The most surprisingly awesome song to run to is Journey's Don't Stop Believin'. I thought it would be too slow to run to but added it to the playlist anyway. The song came on about halfway through my run, during my return trip along the Ala Wai and probably at the exact moment I needed it.
Man, if I could only bottle that feeling, endorphins pumping, sun setting and leaving a yellow glow on the mirrored buildings near Ala Moana, Steve Perry singing "It goes on and on and on and on...", I would know exactly what to give everyone for Christmas this year. It was sooo FAN-flipping-TASTIC in fact that I was ever so close to pounding my fist into the air in triumph :) Sometimes things just intersect perfectly and give you a sense of wonder. Luckily I was able to recognize that the moment was fleeting and savored every second of it. I think a lot of times these little moments spring up on us and we are too foolish to recognize them.
So excited to go running again tonight...

I had a similar feeling when I was running around with Gir at the park during Sakura season. All of a sudden this soft breeze came thru and thousands of tiny soft pink petals fell from the trees, flurrying about around me. The moment felt like it was created just for me :)
Yes! To steal a line from the book "Perks of Being a Wallflower" it's moments like those where you feel infinite.
