Welcome to Wednesday Word, a monthly linkup for everyone, not just health and fitness bloggers. On the first Wednesday of every month you will have a single word prompt to write about. Let your imagination run free and share with your readers your interpretation of that word, or simply use it as inspiration for your post. Today’s word is beauty… I’d love to have you link up, and if you do, please remember to follow my six simple rules.

 

Beauty

that gives pleasure to the senses
or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit
~ Merriam-Webster

I’ve watched a beautiful sunrise while finishing up an early morning run…

I’ve found friends I would have never met without joining a new running group…

 

I’ve witnessed someone who was never a runner, find joy in her new-found sport…

I experience the beauty of untouched snow which feels like clouds under my feet…

 

Where have you seen beauty in running?
