so amazing

yesterday I went to the gym

turned my ipod on

of course it was dead

I was disappointed I just wanted to zone out for at least 30 minutes

a little "me" time, you know?

Well I decided to exercise anyways

it wasn't that big of a deal

But I'm so glad that I did

I started thinking about our bodies and how amazing our bodies are

Think of everything your body does, without you ever thinking about it.

breath in

breath out

heart beating

healing of a scar

telling us we are hungry/full

nails/hair growing

blinking

etc

etc etc

Our bodies are amazing.

I hope you are doing everything in your power to take care of it

Another thought about our bodies is everything it tolerates and how it adapts

A month ago I started being able to run again

I was running so slow... couldn't even say it was run probably

I limit myself to two runs a week so I don't overtrain and re-injure myself

But in a month my body has adapted to running so quickly

I went from barely being able to run 5mph for 10 minutes

Now I can run 5.5-6.5 mph for 30 minutes.

I just think it's such an amazing thing that we are so blessed to have

Working at the hospital I realize what a rare thing it is to have a healthy body

there are so many things that could go wrong

I feel so blessed to be so healthy and things working the way they were designed to.
