REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Building Resilience Use Muscle Power

How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

I would normally drive to the track because i would be too tired to run or walk back to the track after the workout but now, i take the time to run there, run on the track, and then walk back and enjoy the sunset sometimes,

REFLECTION QUESTION
People Spend Time Outside

Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

Mikkaela Palmer 4/08/2020 10:28 PM

I agree with Rachel Carson, we do need the need to experience the natural beauties and mysteries of the world. It's completely accessible once you take the step out of your front door.

I ran 9 miles today for my long run, so i walked an extra 2 miles at the end to really take in the sunset. A lot of times, I'm so busy that i can only admire the sunset through pictures and never while it's actually happening. It was an excellent experience.
