Some people already know this (not too many, I hope), but I've recently started a habit of running in the mornings before work. I'm woefully out of shape and working on getting better at that. So I'm not running very fast or far or anything, but I am doing it every day, and I think that's a start. It's bringing me some unique joys. I listen to music when I run, which isn't necessarily something I do on its own very often. I listen to music while I run. It's much easier to focus on the music instead of distracting myself doing something else. And it makes my runs super fun! Also, early morning air is something special. Getting up at 6:30 when I don't have to is kind of a drag, but breathing morning air is something special. Watching the sun rise over the train tracks near my house is so beautiful that I almost am able to forget that I woke up at sun rise when I could still be asleep.
Anyways, I just wanted to talk about how much I'm loving the little itty bitty workout I'm up to. Hoping to add some weight lifting (again, really not very much at all--woefully out of shape) soon.
Running makes me happier. Maybe it's because it's strengthening my lungs so I actually am getting the right amount of oxygen into my body, but hey, who can say, right?
