PiDay8KNightRunInTheRain&CRYSTALS!!!
Events cause intense emotions and I wasn't sure what to do with them. I went to a 12 Step Meeting but really didn't feel like talking about it.
After the meeting, I started to walk home and thought "What the heck! I am schedule for a Pi Day 8K. It's a virtual run. I choose the route and the time when I want to start. It's dark and raining. It matched my mood completely.

There is no time like the presence to start the run so I headed for the Trail and found a different branch in the trail with wetlands. Rain and Darkness was a good time to cry, scream and rant. My Higher Power and I had a serious conversation.

I started at 7:30 PM and made it home at 9:40 PM.

 SO SORRY TO HEAR YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING UPSETS LATELY. I HOPE THE SITUATION WILL IMPROVE FOR YOU VERY SOON. WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RUN? NOT THAT IT MATTERS TO ME, AT MY AGE RUNNING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

 Well done on completing the walk. I would never have ventured that in the rain and darkness. Take care Star, and chin up.

A virtual run is folks online from different parts of the country do an event creating their own route and schedule. The timing is recorded on a website. A running event is called a run regardless of rather the person walks, runs, does a combination, or stops frequently. I cannot physically run because of last year's hip replacement surgery thus I technically walk the event. I also have a tendency to stop and take photos. I did this even when I could run. Galloway style is a walk/run combination. This is the way that I used to run and I am hoping to eventually get back to it. It works well for older people and is easier on the joints.
