First Run of the Year

Yippee! I ran 5k on a treadmill. I stopped a lot and walked off the treadmill, but I was trying to push myself with speed today. It was pretty cool. It's like I could feel the light at the end of the tunnel. My form is still a little off kilter, but I could tell with a little more practice, and more comfort with that movement of trying to run faster, I could get used to it, and actually do it. It was enlightening on an intellectual level, and I can't wait until I feel it on a spiritual level - basically a runner's high. All the joy of the world seems to be running the treadmill with me during a runner's high.
