Over the weekend I read the book “Born to Run”. Sunday I bought Nike Free’s. Monday and today I ran like a lunatic escaping the asylum, and I felt better than I have in a long long long time.
I’ve been working our consistently and hard since July, but yesterday I finally noticed that I am in pretty good shape. That was as shocking as it was inspiring. When I noticed my heart rate was pretty low (for me) after interval training, I thought I’d try to keep running- just five minutes. Then ten. Then fifteen. I kept running and running until I begrudgingly stopped to shower and get ready for work. I thought all day about running after work (I was talked out of it by more experienced athletes. I tortured my co-worker by shouting at her, hour after hour, about the book and the running and the shoes. I took the shoes out of my gym bag and made her hold them and comment. She continues to humor me with enthusiasm.
Today I went straight into the run, and made it three miles. I feel like a different person. I couldn’t even run the mile in 8th grade. I hope that this will crack the shell around me.
Run, baby, run!!!!! Sounds great! HUGS!
It will definitely help. Nice job!

Natural Endorphins! Keep running, baby!
Yes, run, yes, natural endorphins, out of the mind and into the body. I do it with yoga and love it. Enjoyed some of your recent posts
