Favorite runs

We are visiting the wife's family and friends for her birthday and this is where we were both living when we met.  Last night we stayed at a friends house that live near one of my favorite runs. After a night of tequila and laughs I set out my running clothes for the morning so I didn't disturb everyone when I snuck out it the am.  I couldn't find the car keys.  I got so disappointed but I thought that I wouldn't be able to go to the park where I learned that I like running.  After I had a little hissyfit in my head I climbed into bed and said to myself, run it in your head.  As I was calming down to go to sleep I pictured the different little ponds that the trail winds around.  I pictured all the tree roots and turns.  I saw the turtles jumping off the banks into the water.  It was really serene.  When I woke up I got dressed and found the keys and was able to go.  I snuck out and ran.  I went around all the lakes a few times and thought all about the different people that I have run with in this park,  some of whom are no longer with us.
