Health or Not?

I guess there's always an element of health in whatever I do.  However, I was considering dropping the "health" part of this blog.  That would leave "nut."  As Chief Nut, I promise to pose questions that lead to more and possibly deeper thoughts.  Hopefully, the will be good thoughts to help you consider your position in life and allow you to make changes, as you like.

With this in mind, I have taken a few "runs" lately.  I've been an avid runner in the past, but allowed illness and then life to take priority.  And as my body ages, running is not necessarily a pain-free operation.  However, I have actually been enjoying it.  This is really odd, especially since I am almost starting over.  My body is adjusting to getting back to this type of activity.  My enjoyment level seems to be very high with it, though.  Our recent Minnesota weather has been extraordinary - highs predicted to be in the 60s and 70s for the duration of the ten-day forecast.  Many birds are obvious in the eastern outskirts of our metropolis, too.  It's just really pleasant to be outside now. 

Additionally, the intense physical activity is doing wonders for blowing the cobwebs out of my old brain.  I had forgotten about that benefit - or had taken it for granted!  As it gradually faded away, I did not realize what I was missing!

So, my suggestion for the day is be like Nike - just do it!  Get outside, enjoy the weather and fresh air.  And while  you're at it, get some exercise!
