I completed the entire 9-week Couch-to-5K program today. (!)
I channeled my inner cheetah the best I could.
My iPhone was randomly shuffling through my entire library and the last song that came up during today’s run was Wayne Newton’s Danke Schoen. Dear lord, I so love that song.
Danke schoen, darling, danke schoen
Save those lies, darling don’t explain
I recaaaaaaall Central Park in faaaaaaaall
How you tore your dress, what a mess
I confess that’s not all …
I sang along as I ran and danced along my residential street, while wiping tears of happiness from my eyes. Hokey, but true.
I.DID.IT.
Today I’ve been thinking about how special and rare and incredible our bodies are. It’s a miracle that each of us is even here on this planet. I felt like a machine today, running, leaping, stepping, looking. This machine of mine is my most prized possession.
There is an expiry date on this machine too, but I don’t know what it is. I mean SHIT, it could be tomorrow for all I know.
It’s amazing that I have the life that I have. I am here. I am here. I am here.
I’m drafting up a couple of posts about the sugar fast, and about another aspect of healthy living for posting later this week. And I keep asking myself myself, how did I honour my body today? And how will I honour it tomorrow?
