Declaration of My Independence

July 4,2008 :: Chicago, Illinois

This time last year I was in Chi Town enjoying 4th of July fireworks at a farmhouse with good friends. While I won't be setting off any fireworks this year (it is still light outside), I celebrated in my own way.

There was something magical about my run this morning as my feet kicked along the trail through dew soaked Lupin leaves. I thought to myself as I inhaled the fresh morning air of how fortunate I am. How lucky we are to be a part of a democratic society. How lucky we are to be independent.

Happy Birthday America.
