Treadmills are no fun. But in
a pinch they’ll do better then nothing.
Especially if you’re not sure
how long you’ll last and whether or not cement (closest option) is the best
thing.
Today I got to sweat. I got
to sweat! I got to sweat!
First run in four months
since my accident where I really got to run. The fear of one foot in front of
the other was gone.
As the salt beaded up and my
headband moistened I put on the grin. Full of gratitude. Enormous amounts of
gratitude.
This body can heal!
I felt for those who couldn’t
do what I was doing today.
Not that I went longer than
20 minutes. But the feeling of freedom, from pain, from all inhibitions sent my
heart souring with super large amounts of appreciation for my ability to run.
To RUN!
To run free.
