RUN!

I live in the most "students obsessed with fitness" place on earth. You can look out the window and find someone jogging down the street at all times of the day and night. Nothing stops them. NOTHING. Rain, Snow, Hail, Wind. If provo were warned that it would be hit by a tornado in half an hour, you would see people jogging just to hurry and fit in burning calories before the city was destroyed. This morning I was standing at the bus stop at 7:13 a.m. It was frigid. I saw a boy about mid 20's or so running down the street. When he hit the intersection, he pressed the button on the streetlight to hurry the walking sign and then to make sure his heart rate stayed pumping, he began running in circles around the light pole. He ran around and around and around until that little white man permitted him to cross. It started my morning off with a smile.
