your devotion to fitness is inspiring. what keeps you going? i've never been able to stick to a routine but it seems like nothing can keep you down and i want to have that kind of unbreakable spirit for myself.
honestly? it's the closest I have to meditation.
My brain is often very mean to me. It likes bringing up stuff I'd rather forget, dump HD rereleases of the cringe compilation of my life. It's hard for me to get in the here-and-now, and it's a struggle I've hard all my life.
But when I'm running, it's gone.
Putting my foot in front of the other, feeling the breeze hit me, feeling the impact on the ground. Keeping my breathing patterns in check. It all just grounds me in a way I only rarely experience otherwise. It is the moment where I get to live in the present and nowhere else. That's why I keep coming back to it, and why I keep at it no matter what.
