a day off in a small town

Today I did something that I've only managed once before, and that's given me the impetus to start my blog! I ran a mile without stopping. While this may seem like a small feat to most people, for me it's been fraught with fainting spells. My only other success was on a cruise after leaving Wellogic, when I was desperate to improve my circulation and feel better. My body feels wonderful right now, taut, but relaxed. I feel invincible, and not at all dizzy. I am so happy about it. The cool thing is that I didn't begin by trying to tackle that old challenge, but just started running and kept deciding not to stop. I have been able to conquer many of my old physical limitations lately, and I am probably the most comfortable and optimistic I've ever been.

Today, I also saw my second rainbow since moving here 6 mo ago. It's going to be fun living in a place where they happen with more frequency, because it's so damn sunny! I can see a lot more of the sky, all the time. I found out that "Last of the Mohichans" was filmed in my new state! I loved that movie as a kid and wanted to live there, minus the arrows and muskets.
