deep breath

I went for a run tonight. The night air felt good rushing by me. It rained earlier and the streets and sidewalks were still damp. As I was doing my cooldown walk I saw a little park with swings and took a detour. I love swing sets. There is just something soothing about the back and forth rythm and that second where gravity seems to cease when you reach the pinnacle.

I have spent the majority of the past two weeks either working, sleeping, or drinking. Actually putting my sneakers on and forcing myself to run was me taking a deep breath, squaring my shoulders, and saying, "okay life, let’s do this."

I have a hell of a year coming up, and the only way I am going to be able to tackle it and stay on top is if I am keeping up with a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthily and exercising brings me peace.

So let’s do this.
