I ran 4 miles tonight. It felt great, and I ran into the Rogue Runners who gave me free water. I'd just like to say, in case I haven't, that runners are generally happy people. I mean, if you work out everyday, let alone run mostly everyday, then you can't help but be happy because exercise naturally releases those wonderful endorphins and reduces the stress hormone cortisol, and I'm always more de-stressed and laid back after a workout. It boosts the immune system and increases oxygen to the brain (maybe why a workout clears my mind and generates ideas?). Exercise helps prevent chronic conditions like heart disease. Everyone knows this, but until you experience it on a consistent basis, you really don't get the full effect of BELIEF.OK, I'm not really a doctor, but I am a believer that working out keeps me balanced and happy. Runners wave to each other and sometimes can tell where you are in your run just by looking at your face. Runners help you and say hello and good morning when they pass by. Thank you, runners!
Another great core workout I'd forgotten about is a trapeze lesson. I had the opportunity to take one in April 2008 with my friend Amy S. for her birthday. We took the class at The Crossings, but there's now a full time class offered in Austin at Trapeze Experience. I think I'm going to give it a go, or a swing, again. Now that I'm not sick anymore, my mojo is in full effect and I can proclaim with confidence, "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!"
