Love to sweat - H

E and I went running yesterday for the first time in eons. It wasn't a very long run at all (babysteps), but it felt really good! Most ladies I know hate sweating and being sore and tired. I, on the other hand, love it! It's proof that I exerted some effort, that something's going on in my body, that it's just a little bit healthier...and I also love that I'm probably cleaning all this nasty stuff out of my pores. It also tells me that my body can handle physical challenges, that I can still push myself. I love a physical challenge (but not right now b/c I'm pretty flabby and all of my muscles have atrophied.) I love feeling healthy. When I am, my body actually feels different inside, and I carry myself differently. I have more energy, more motivation to live out the day, more imagination even. I'm also a more effective individual in every way. I haven't felt like this in quite a while. Gotta eat my fruits and veggies... =D.

On another note, I submitted my request to work part-time next year. I'm not guaranteed to get it b/c the requests were supposed to be submitted in February. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and waiting expectantly.

I'm living life! I feel alive!
