Had a pleasant run today.  Second time out, I did a run last week too.  I'm running less than a 20 minute mile, which is encouraging.  And it feels good to be moving.  The late afternoon sun, while not especially warm, was nice to have on me when I pulled my sleeves up for it.  It was warmer earlier on when I fed the horses.  Yesterday I climbed/ran the stairs on Queen Anne.  Each time I go I run a few more flights.  In another couple of weeks I ought to be able to run the whole thing...600+ stairs and that isn't counting the uphill part of the climb that doesn't have stairs but only steep sidewalks.  After the stair climb I went to a yoga class and boy does it feel good!  I love yoga.  I love being physical.  I was telling my daughter how I am big into escapism right now...beats feeling too much...and she asked if the running/exercise was escapism.  I don't think so, exactly.  It's more grounding, more being with and in myself.  It's one activity when I am mindful rather than mindless (like tv and wonderful novels).

But now I'm hungry and need to find something that won't totally null the effect of running.  I have cocoa crispies and skim milk....that sounds yummy, doesn't it!  ;)
