Adaptation

Yesterday, I went for a 4 mi jog. It was tough (mile 3 was a lot of walk-jog intervals) but much more manageable than I would have anticipated.

Tonight, I looked at my calendar to prep myself for tomorrow, saw my plan from Runner's World, and thought, "Phew, only 2 miles tomorrow, awesome."

Was it really only late February when I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do 2 miles? And now, less than 10 weeks later, it's ONLY 2 miles.

The human body amazes me. Every day, I've been getting stronger, adapting, evolving ... but because it's a daily process, I couldn't see it. It wasn't until I was given a formerly un-speakable task that I realized just how far I have come - both figuratively and literally.
