Having been separated from running for so long, the memories have faded, and I’ve forgotten how much I love running.
But this morning, I did a five mile run/walk (2/1). Afterwards, I felt so good. As if everything was right in the world. I truly love running. It centers me.
Ada the Dog is very happy too, because she also loves to run. Also, because I give her extra food when she runs.
As I write this, perhaps the endorphins are still lasting from my run 11 hours ago, but I’m happy. I’m happy that, though my recovery has been sloooooooooow, and I still struggle with tendinitis, I’m moving forward. I still can’t run 5 miles without walk breaks, but at least I can get out there and get some miles in!
I’m feeling good!
What’s making you happy this weekend?

Those running endorphins are the best, that feeling is hard to replicate with other activities.

Agreed! Back when I ran 5 days a week, I’d get soooo grumpy if I didn’t run for 2 days…I think I was addicted to the endorphins!
