All of my Days

Happy Valentine's Day!

Normally, I don't give this highly commercialized holiday much recognition on the general principal that I don't need a holiday to be romantic. However, this Valentine's Day is a little different. There is someone special in my life right now; more special than anyone in many.... many years. And to celebrate this made-for-Florists and Halmark-cards Holiday Jenny and I decided what would be more fitting than to run a race. Yeah... that's right. It's our first Valentine's Day and we're running a race together! Who needs long waits for dinner and expensive restaurant bills when you can just go running?

At the time this post automatically posts itself (I love the post date and time feature) we'll be in the midst of running the Five Points of Life Marathon in Gainesville. We are running as part of a 5-person c0-ed (I'm the only guy) relay team. Four runners run 5-miles and the anchor runs 6.2-miles. Sounds fun! Plus, I get to go to another running expo the day before! Yeehaw!

I'll leave you with the lyrics of a song that comes to mind as I reflect upon finding Jenny and having her in my life! It's by Alexi Murdoch and the song is titled "All of My Days." Click the song title if you want to listen to it. It's a good song, promise! :-)

Well I have been searching
All of my days

Many a road, you know
I've been walking on
All of my days

And I've been trying to find

What's been in my mind

As the days keep turning into night

Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days

Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made

All of this rain

And I've been trying to find

What's been in my mind

As the days keep turning into night

Well many a night
I found myself with no friends standing near

All of my days

I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here

All of these days

For I look around me

And my eyes confound me

And it's just too bright

As the days keep turning into night


Now I see clearly

It's you I'm looking for

All of my days

So I'll smile
I know
I'll feel this loneliness no more

All of my days

For I look around me

And it seems you found me

And it's coming into sight

As the days keep turning into night

As the days keep turning into night

And even breathing feels all right

Yes, even breathing feels all right

Now even breathing feels all right

Yes even breathing
Feels all right
