Weather - 36 degrees, clouds. After yesterdays 7 mile run and bike intervals, I thought I would be feeling wiped out today. When I started my run, however, my legs felt special, not only the legs, but everything, the breath, the arms and shoulders, the heart, even the spirit. I guess a day like today makes all the hard work worthwhile, meaningful. It wasn't a race, no time or body to beat, rather, the pure feeling of motion uninhibited by gravity or sickness. It is when the sun looks down and seems to smile upon a little blip in the universe who is trying hard to do something. Today I was a small shimmer of light angling across the land, a bird coasting in the wind, all that sky ahead and behind, above and below. I felt free. #101 z.m. - #15 |
