everything in agreement

I ran for 1.2 miles this morning. Maris and Isa were with me, too. Maris took care of Isa. She ran/walked while Isa was on the stroller. It was a short run but I got to hang out with my family, which is more important. So I still have plenty of energy in my reserve. As I am typing this journal right now, I can still feel the tingling sensation in my legs from this morning's run.

The truth is a part of me did not want to run today. I woke up right before 8 am. Isa woke up right after I got out of the main bedroom, which was a little after 8. Then we greeted Maris as she was trying to get in the front door. So how did I end up running? Somehow there was a general election that happened in me, and the winning party was the Run-You-Lazy-Bum Party.

Now, I have a little bit of runny nose. I probably forced myself too much. My Anti-Run body cells are massively protesting in my nasal area. I hope I don't get sick as a result of this. I remember Teacher has this notion of not forcing things. We must always make sure that everything is in agreement before commiting. The same princliple is applied in circlewalking. The left foot needs to be planted first before the right foot can leave the ground, and vice-versa. Otherwise, the whole body becomes unstable.

I still have to learn how to listen to my body. Sometimes my mind forces my body the wrong way that I end up getting sick. Nowadays, I kind of know my limits, but sometimes I'm too stubborn and I stop listening, which is really bad.
