Finally some warm weather on a weekend. It seems like ages since the climate has been this pleasant. So naturally I wanted to take advantage of the conditions by going running. I haven't been able to run for about 3 months due to the cold. I was able to run both Saturday and Sunday. It was fantastic. I relish being able to be outside after such a cruel winter.
Usually after I am done running, I feel exhilarated but not today. I was very sad today. As I was running on the bike trail, I passed a man pushing a lady in a wheelchair. She was probably in her late 30's. I am not sure if the man pushing her was her husband. As I passed and glanced over, I just felt such pity for this woman. Here I was out enjoying the day, running, feeling free and wonderful. Then there was this poor lady being pushed around in a wheelchair. Life sure isn't fair. I can't even imagine what kind of hell it would be, unable to walk, being trapped, having to rely on someone else to tend to your needs. Life is such a contradiction. There can be such beauty and also it can be so appalling.
