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! ;)
