The human body really is an amazing thing.
Today, I went for a short run. I'm hoping to actually make it a habit. I am thinking about running a 5K on New Year's Eve. I've trying to get a hold of my dad to see if he wants to do it, too. I think it'd be more fun to do it with someone. But anyway... since I have an actual goal, perhaps it'll make it easier.
But why am I saying the human body is amazing? Well, it's been a while since I've gone running. And it's also been a while since I've run regularly. I only ran for 10 minutes, but the first 2-3 minutes sucked. If this had been me several years ago, I probably would have stopped. I was tired, and breathing was hard. But I kept at it. And I never really notice when it gets easier, but it does. And I no longer feel the burning desire to stop. I look around and notice the scenery; the leaves changing colors. And I enjoy it.
I blame you, Paul.
