Getting "Back in the Saddle!"

After not running for two weeks due to a temperamental old gymnastic knee injury, the thought of "getting back in the saddle" to run was a bit intimidating. It is funny that after ten years I can still wonder if I can run! But was really amazing to me was how much my stress affected me when I couldn't run. My body ached more, I felt more sluggish and tired and my emotions were harder to manage. I guess I have been taking these benefits for granted as with most people who enjoy good health. It isn't until we stop doing what is healthy, stop taking our supplements, stop eating healthily we realize how much benefit we enjoy everyday by doing these things. And by the way, when I did finally get out and run...it felt great and my energy was good all day long...so glad to be "back in the saddle!"
