Rediscovered runner

I woke up this morning around 4 am but couldn’t fall back asleep, so I read in bed for a little. I got up around 6 am for a morning jog and the weather was absolutely perfect. It almost felt like a fall morning. There was a light breeze that tingled my limbs and I could actually breath comfortably. I started out slowly as I normally do and found my feet moving ahead of me for the first time in a very, very long time. I’ve been running (jogging) sporadically for about three weeks now and each time my legs felt like deadweights, only swinging forward with each stride because my arms and pelvic girdle forced it to do so. I also rediscovered a rhythm in my breath, the song of the inner world. I’m running again and though it took a few weeks of my body struggling, my mind-body finally came into sync, like old friends rediscovering their friendship after missing each other for years.
