I went running today and I something happened that I haven’t seen in a long time. I had that amazing post-workout glow that I so rarely experience. I feel bad because I haven’t been exercising nearly as much this summer as I was last year. With my operation at the beginning of the summer and then extremely crazy/stressful/fun work for three weeks, I kind of fell out of the groove that I had begun to establish in the spring.
But not anymore. I bought new running shoes this morning because my old ones were killing my feet. Just a refresh of the Asics Kayano gel running shoes in a new color (blue!) and size (12 double-E). Even just walking around in them felt much better. I can’t wait to try them out tomorrow morning.
I don’t know what it is about jogging that I prefer over other types of exercise. Maybe it’s because I don’t have to deal with other people and I can work at my own pace and on my own schedule. Or maybe it’s the feeling of satisfaction with which I am overcome when I collapse onto my bed after almost pushing myself to nausea and heat stroke. I’m not sure, but whatever it is, I love it.
But not enough to post a pic of myself in my post-workout radiance. I’m not that modest.
