I managed to do 200m repeats on the track last night, :57 seconds. Pretty slow lol I feel mostly fine about it though. A few months ago I was determined never to step foot in running shoes again. What happened? I changed my mind, and I like the idea of that.
I was talking to Loki yesterday about working where I work and doing what I like doing which is something I hated a few years ago. Now I love it, I really do. And the job didn't change, only my perception of it did, it seems.
It's a good lesson for me to remember that when I choose to see things one way I can be pretty certain that it's not really the way it probably is most of the time.
But back to running, Royce asked me how I feel after my second sprint and I said, "Out of shape :)" But I also told him that I like how hard it is, and how much has changed in just 2 short weeks. It's still very difficult, but I feel my body doing something it's meant to do, that it's capable of doing and it is exhilerating to know that and feel it. Even though it burns and is exhausting, it feels good to be inside of a body that is living and moving and doing something. And above all, changing right before my eyes. While I'm breathing, it's never too late; a tired adage, and I completely believe it.

A long, long time ago in a life far, far away, I watched a dance show on PBS. The head dancer guy -- um, choreographer -- said something like, "We are physical creatures, with bodies, and if you are not moving your body in some way,then you are not fully living." So true.
It is. I understand that in a way I never have before.
