Glorious Exhaustion!

Complete physical exhaustion is a new feeling for me. At least newish. There were times back when that I would push it HARD in cheerleading camp and come home feeling like a noodle. But as of late and as far as my body is concerned, this feeling is new...and oddly wonderful. It is awesome to know that I have pushed my self to my limit and succeeded. I have done more exercise in the last 24 hours than I had probably done all of last year. Everything hurts and everything is sore and yet, I feel fantastic and proud. I think I even the tip of my nose is a tad bit sore.

To achieve this level of complete done-ness, I started with a 5K race at midnight last night, more on that later, woke up for my regular Thursday morning workout, worked all day--late even (I missed my nap = not OK), then ran for my entire hour long running class.

There is more about all of this, but I will post more later. The exhaustion has reached my brain and is leaching to the tips of my fingers.

I read this today. It is simple and big.

"Running is spirituality with laces. Running teaches us lessons of life, but how we run and why we run reflect the lessons of life already learned."

I agree.
