Time to Get Out

Finally after more than 7 months I got to shoot some top level athletic competition. It was a dreary, misty morning but it felt so good to be out shooting some action. It was fitting that it was a X-Country meet since that was my passion back in my school days, and I continue to run today. It wasn’t your normal meet as COVID had it’s hand in the season and Navy had no team to run against so they set up a Blue and Gold meet. Everyone was clearly happy to be doing what they train each day for. It won’t be a normal season by any means but these runners will get to compete a couple of times, including their battle against Army. This is a hard time for many people. I for one need to be out and finding purpose in life. I am not one to sit and do nothing. My mind and body need to be active and I need to be out and experiencing life. There has been so much we have all lost this year so far and I don’t want to lose any more. I know there is much more to come in the pandemic and I will no doubt miss out on many events I normally would be shooting. That doesn’t mean I won’t be finding my passion for life. I hope everyne finds a way to enjoy life and find happiness each day. I’m glad for this one day there were smiles.
