yoga, a run, and spontaneity

Wed: yoga in the evening. good session.

Thurs: ran ~4.5 miles, maybe 40 minutes (didn't take the watch). 20F outside, but not that windy.

as I was out running today I saw a couple of kids rolling themselves down the hill and howling while doing it. very spontaneous and undeliberate. I got to thinking a bit about how we lose some of that as we age. I'm pretty deliberate about most things--breaking out of that doesn't often get much farther than leaving my watch or HRM off when I go out for a workout. True, I'm pretty flexible about most things, but that doesn't actually translate to spontaneous. I'm just open to change.

Anyway, I thought that it might be fun to be a little more spontaneous. True, it runs against the definition of "spontaneous" if it is planned, but having the germ of the idea in your brain is probably pretty important.
