At the gym today I ran. I was so happy that I smiled the entire time. People coming in either smiled back, seeming to enjoy my happiness or they looked at me like I had escaped from the mental institution. I couldn’t help it, though. I was listening to my ipod and every song was better than the next and nothing was hurting! (see previous post about injury) I was really, honestly happy. I sort of put things into perspective during that short run. I realized that running a little is better than not running. I can’t really explain now how everything seemed right with the world while I was running that 3 miles. I just felt lucky and grateful. I have so much and today I got that little part of my life back and I felt so grateful for everything…the music, my strength, my new running shoes (thank you, honey…they were my valentine’s present), and my unbelievably awesome life. My husband used to have the song “Check Yes Juliet” as my ring tone. Here is part of the chorus:
Lace up your shoes…Run, baby, run….don’t ever look back…
He changed it when I got hurt because it made me sad. I think I’m ready for him to put it back.
