Keeping the Motor Running
"To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." ~ BUDDHA
Yesterday, the urge was overwhelming to get out there and run. Since a stomach ailment last November, and some knee trouble shortly thereafter, I have fallen out of my normal fitness routine. I wouldn't say I am out of shape, but I am not the shining example of fitness either. Due to the knee troubles, I hit the treadmill rather than the pavement. I also managed a short workout on the weight bench. The results were instant and lasting, although I missed the outside air and scenery. My sleep last night was restful. My mood and energy level today are elevated.
Paying attention to ourselves is of equal importance to that of our families and other responsibilities. Without our health we are of little use... and the morning-after soreness feels oh-so-good!
