I recently took up running, but not like I took up being gluten free. I actually do go running. I've noticed, though, that all my senses are engaged when I run.
Touch/ Feel: I can feel my feet throbbing and my heart pounding with every step.
Sight: I can see that I am NOT running very fast and that my finish line is not even close but I also witness the weirdest things, like people walking cats and large teddy bears belted in to the front seat of a car.
Taste: I can taste the hot, thick air with every sharp breath I take.
Smell: I can smell chicken noodle soup? I run about a five kilometer section every time I go running and it's always the same. On two separate locations on two separate roads, I smell chicken noodle soup.
Hear: I hear laughter as people watch me drag my sweaty body up that menacing hill.
Every time I come home after a run I am never sure if I feel good or just more confused. At what point of attachment to your teddy bear do you feel the need to strap it in for fear of its fluff flying through the windshield. I sure hope you are wearing your seat belt. How often does your family eat chicken noodle soup, are you ill or do you just really love it? Must you actually laugh and point your chubby fingers full of McDonald's fries at me? I mean at least I'm trying to change. Never laugh at a runner, it will be those people you turn to in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse just sayin'.
Speaking of running, I neglected to run the last couple days so I am going to go do that.
Happy Running Friends.
