the wonder
Yesterday I saw the most beautiful sight.
Grey hair running.
She was so beautiful, so happy as she ran-
I teared up, thinking WOW-
It is possible to have this love of running last a lifetime.
**********************
Later that morning. I ran on the treadmill at the Spa.
The last time I did that, I had a terrible time with boredom.
This time, I was prepared,
Headphones and a plan-
The goal was small- a mere 3 miles-
BUT -I had a time crunch-
I had to finish in time to pick up Molly from kinder-
Nothing like a little 'have-to" punctuality to spice things up!
My 'plan' was to try a suggestion my friend Cassie had given me-
Run 3min walk 1
Now-
Given my predisposed aversion to tooo much order,
I decided to simply-
Run some- Walk some-
And boy, did I run!
That's the beauty of a treadmill-
YOU tell your legs what to do, not the other way around.
And for the next half hour or so- that's what I did.
Worked pace
Worked form
I've never sweat so much in my life-
Felt great-
Think they just had the heater on-
But I'll take it-
When I got home, I remembered a suggestion from a fellow runner-
Use a rolling pin to massage your calves after a run-
Brilliant!
(thank you runningchick6560!)
This will now be added regularly to my routine-
Might have to buy a bigger one- this one looks downright pitiful, but worked GREAT-
I was just finishing up, when I saw another beautiful sight-
My Molly-
Flat out running-
So beautiful so happy-
IN THE HOUSE!?!?!
Nobody taught her how to run.
She just runs.
She runs like mad-
Stops when she's tired-
Then runs some more-
I want to be like that.
Never lose the wonder.
