Arthur's Court
briskly and swift travels the aging man
ascending the mount to see God’s beacon shine
focused on words that illuminate his soul
grateful for the quickening of mercies divine
Tonight I ran for the second time this week and the second time in perhaps 6 months or more. After the St. George in 2005 I haven’t trained much. I did run the Wasatch Back Relay, but I pretty much ran that straight up without forethought…and my legs sure thanked me for it!
Today I had been having a brain cloud, as I’ve come to recognize as a fairly common part of Ryan’s existence. I almost didn’t run today because I’ve been feeling “almost sick” lately. Ya know that feeling of fatigue, muscle soreness, hot/cold “make up your mind” stuff? Well, I’ve been having that but guess what? Here’s what I experienced upon returning from a 15 minute run, 5 minute walk, then repeat session:
- My mind felt clear and focused
- I had more energy
- I noticed patience came easier
- Gratitude filled my being
- (From the textbook) Overall sense of well being
I enjoy noticing the effects of my actions more these days. I haven’t always done that and it’s quite interesting and refreshing.
