Running

I ran today. I ran the most miles I've done in over a year- since pre-pregnancy. And I was slow and my lungs burned but for a awhile all was right with the world; not perfect but I knew I could handle whatever comes my way. This is why I love running, why its effect got under my skin when I began training for my first race eight years ago and it's power has never left; why the craving for that moment of invincibility trumps almost everything.
