Today was one of those days where I had to remind myself that running is still good for this ol' body of mine. I remember the first time I ran 4 miles...a few years after Sasha and I were married. I remember feeling like I could run a marathon after that first "long" run. I remember when I started getting faster and the sheer awe I felt that my body could do something that I didn't know that it could. I do like staying in shape...even pregnant. I'd like to think this is my healthiest pregnancy ever. I ran five miles a day on and off with Juila's but I wasn't as consistent. That was before I was diganosed with hypothryoidism and before my energy levels and confidence in myself changed dramatically...it's been an interesting ride these last few years. It's been nice to have running as a constant in my life because I've seen that even though in some ways I really feel like I'm getting older my running shows that things are fine...nice |
