Coming Back to Life

Running, that is. After a fantastic summer and fall of running, I had to slow down a bit with a minor injury. It healed and I started on the slow path to recovery some time ago. Just as I was feeling like I was returning to my game, I moved Kabul with its oh, so, thin air. I don't know if it was something magical, or two weeks was how long it took my body to acclimate to the elevation and air quality. Whatever it was, tonight's run was fantastic! You runners know what I'm talking about--it was one of those runs when your body says "No problem; whatever you want to do today is alright with me." In a gym far below the city streets of Kabul my legs came back to life.
