A refreshing outlook

Tonight I went for a leisurely 40 minute run through a nice neighborhood in Dallas. I chose to wait until after sunset because it is so freakin' hot here. Even at 9pm it is still a little too warm for comfort. So, I'm running along, listening to my music and timed it just right to run through 2 sets of sprinklers. So refreshing. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't a new experience, but I must say for some reason I just appreciated it more tonight. Although I still miss the natural green grass back in Iowa, the one good thing about living in a nice neighborhood is that everyone takes good care of their imported lawns and that means sprinklers going full blast each night. The runner's dream.
