My legs are growing treads....

Seriously though I think this past year has been my healthiest year since I was a teenager.  I lost weight, I started working out and most important ... if not the most exciting - I started running.  When I run I know my heart is getting stronger with each pump.  I know my lungs are expanding and working for the better of my body.  I know that my blood is flowing and pumping and going to all the right places.  I love it.  When I run my legs hurt, my chest is tight and I can't carry on a conversation and that is just the way I like it.  Am I crazy?  Who knows, and honestly who cares.  All I know is I have been a running for one year!  One year ago this month I ran my very first 5k race.  One year ago I began a new journey that I never in a million years imagined I would love so very much.  After I run I feel refreshed and renewed.  I feel rejuvenated and unstressed so to speak.  The proud feeling of accomplishment creeps through my veins and it sure feels good.  Thank you God I have a mind to set on running, lungs to take in that fresh air, a healthy heart to pump that blood and legs to get me where I need to go.
