SUNDAY CHOICE

I chose to run.

In rhythmic, relaxed footfalls and breathing,

I increased pace and stride,

And felt nuances of changing dynamics

In feet, calves, thighs, hips, shoulders, arms;

Felt smooth harmony propelling me forward;

Felt endorphins diffusing through body and mind;

Felt sharpening of senses, cognition, motivation, and confidence;

Felt oxygen recharging lungs, brain and muscle;

Felt sweat cooling my back.
I moved in soft, relaxed grace – just me, the trail, the sky.
Privileged with freedom, and the joy of mobility, strength and energy,

I chose health and fitness.

I chose mastery.
