The Human Body is AMAZING

Perhaps I am still in an endorphin induced buzz from a great dc hotstepper, but I am so in love with the human body right now.
A month ago, I started to run. It hurt. My legs- every last muscle- from inner thighs to outer thighs to squads and calves- all hurt. My lungs- they want to go on strike. My pride- it was at the bottom of the Schuylkill River.
I hated not being able to run a well. Or feel confident.
I hated starting to feel like I was getting out of shape.
So, I hotstepped again and again.
And, I got back to DC and joined the Lulelemon ( I know, I am yuppie. It's true. What would NID say?) run club. And, I ran three miles without STOPPING.
I've kept running. Four weeks of run club. Solo runs on my own.
And, yoga. I've been going three to four times a week.

My body is waking up. It's starting to respond. My lungs are at the negotiating table and they asking for more running. My muscles are no longer sore- in fact, they are more flexible and stronger.

And, me, I am so much happier. I am even training for a ten mile race for April 3rd!

How is that to celebrate my health anniversary.

The human body listens. The human body responds to healthy living. I kinda of need to thank g-d for making such amazing organizing.
