Today, be sure to stop and think about all that this country has been through. We celebrate the fourth of July because it was the day we adopted the Declaration of Independence and declared our independence from Great Britain.

My runs in the morning, start at 5:30am and generally end around 6:30am — they are generally peaceful, always sweaty and often introspective. Yesterday morning was no exception.

Remember the fallen, reread the declaration of independence and grab a beer n’ hotdog and head outside to watch the fireworks! 

Happy fourth y’all!
