Sunday, August 8th 2010
Can I just sit with those two things for a minute here.I am about to do a post about A) Barefoot running and B) Open Water Swimming and I am almost in tears (probably not surprised) over how awesome it is to be writing about something so physically challenging. If I can just go back down to memory lane a bit.
That's a picture of me 6 months ago when I had just ran for 5 minutes for the first time ever in my adult life. It was the second week of the c25k program and I was ecstat...

Dear Body,Wow 7 months youve been doing this. Can you believe it? I know sometimes I look in the mirror and I have a hard time liking what I see looking back but can I just say you are amazing. You get up every morning and you move with purpose. Youre sore and tired and most days you just want to swim in a vat of ice cream. Every morning you stretch the soreness away and think Ill sleep later and then you decide how youre going to kick ass for the day. Every thing you do you do...
