today, I felt like a RUNNER!

passion for running category: running on Friday, March 18 2005

Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy! Woohoo, what a great run today.

It was great because Nick joined me but more because I tried another POSE thing (even though I said I wouldn’t until I got the book) and it made the hugest difference.

What I read on the pose forum was that your knees should never fully straighten when you run. That was my one and only thought for today’s run and it made SUCH a difference. Everything felt much lighter, more fluid and there was way less pounding. And guess what? My legs feel very light now. Way lighter than after most runs!

I lied. I had two thoughts during the run. The other one was in keeping with yesterday’s play theme and was to pretend I was Superman running faster than a speeding bullet. I love Superman.

I actually have a silver Superman ring. I’ll have to tell you about the symbollism it’s had in my life sometime. Tell ya what, I’ll take a picture of it for a future post!
