A few hours before my BD, I ran three ten minute miles with my training group. All in a row. I was SO PUMPED. I had only started running AT ALL four months before after a lifetime of swearing I never would.
I have never, ever regained that pace. I often feel better when I run, but I also often feel like I am carrying a boulder in my heart and running makes it worse. There were times I tried to run when the boulder got so heavy that I had to sit on a park bench to cry in order to keep walking.
I still carry that boulder some, but I'm trying to be water that wears it away. The boulder slows me down and makes it hard to keep going, which is why I need the yoga to help lighten it. The beauty of running, though, is that if you can get far enough away from your house you have to keep going in order to get home again.
