A New Feeling : A Freewrite

The elliptical was my first time back on it since I hurt myself a month ago. I felt great doing it and beat my old record for a number of miles today! with a little bit of music mixed in.

I have been feeling good overall. I am still on a high after getting an offer for my first book deal, which is exciting! Dinner was a little dry and bland, but it doesn’t matter because I enjoyed it anyway. I was driving home after a long day, and the clouds were beautiful. I got out of my car and just stood there for a moment, watching them move across the sky.

I completed my first 5K race! I was really nervous about it because I haven’t been running for very long, but it went great. I ran with a friend and our pace was just right. I feel like we did pretty well considering this was our first race together. I don’t know why, but I was so happy that I just stood there for a moment. I was really tired, but I wanted to go for a long walk. I did it, and it was so nice to be outside feeling the breeze on my face and just enjoying being alive. I am proud of myself for doing the elliptical today.

I am proud that I didn’t give up even though my legs were screaming at me to stop. I felt so happy. I got home, and my roommate was there. He had made dinner for us, which was nice of him because he knows I am not a good cook (and he is). We ate together and watched some tv before going to bed.
