not pretty, but definitely beautiful
Don’t you hate people who speak in contradictions?
Not pretty: Nothing felt natural about the first several minutes of today’s return to running. In fact, everything felt really jerky and hard.
But Beautiful: I took a one minute walk break at the 10 minute mark, reflected on my good fortune to be running again, and ran on home quickly finding a much better rhythm than I was in for the first 10 minutes. And, I felt nothing from the injury so I’m hopeful it’s fully healed.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love running?
It is indeed a Happy New Year!
