"Get lost and you will find your way" - Anonymous
I went out for a run this morning. Since Sunday I have been in Pittsburgh. My run was from the hotel room towards University of Pittsburgh campus.
I had a general idea how far it was but did not measure it before I ran it. The team I am on drove in that direction a few times.
This morning at 6:30 I simply put on my running equipment on and headed in the direction. Amazingly as I was running, I started seeing the houses on the street. Many of the buildings that were a blur while driving now had a meaning and I can examine them, Some really cool buildings, a Jewish temple, a Catholic cathedral, etc.
I got to the central building on campus which was the tallest and most artistic in a Gothic style. At this point I had no knowledge of what I was to see and simply I just ran around the campus. It was still slightly dark but I can see the buildings and few of the students.
Next I went over a bridge and found myself in another campus. It appears that Carnegie Mellon campus is attached to the University of Pittsburgh. I was fun to run through it.
Eventually I made my way back to the central building and headed back to the hotel. It was an hour and a half of pure bliss. I never felt the run. All I did was soak up the surroundings. The run, like my runs at other places, helped me see things that I would not have seen if I had simply stayed in bed. That would have been a waste.
Today's question is:
"How do you approach the unknown?"
