un de mes plaisirs

ok, let's do this one in English! :D

So, what really makes YOUR day?

a phone call, seeing a friend, a certain music, cooking, a good fight in the street (what?), a mouthful (or more?) of chocolate, x movies (hope not! ^^)...

What is it that turns you on, that can make a bad day turn into a good one?

i'll tell you my own very little secret....

shhhhh.....

i love.....

running,

          jogging

                     racing

                              or whatever you call it.

the wind in your hair, the feeling that you could go on forever, the rush of hormones to your brain that makes me smile as i pant...

because i'm not very good at it i have to admit! When I wake up and know that i am dead set on moving my legs, my brain frantically starts rumaging for any excuse it could find: rain, too tired, warmth of my sheets, not a good day to run (yes this excuse HAS worked for me, you believe it??!)  

You might say i'm crazy, seeing that NO ONE is forcing me in the slightest to get up and run....

but then my lazy brain shuts up for a bit and my whole body is eager to get on the horrible shorts, t-shirt and trainers on...

and then as i set up jogging i know why i woke up early, why i knew it'd be good.

Because in the fresh air of the morning, when the only people down in the street are the brave one (or the crazies like me), i forget everything and loose myself to the sound of music (i can't run without it btw), i get happy of starting my day by something fun and most of all.....

....this is what I see:

and that:

These alleys full of emptiness, the joy of beeing alone, or almost...

=

So yeah, that's why i manage to get up and run in the morning: for the rush i get to my brain and the beauty I see in the city....

the fact i know it's keeping me fit has nothing, of course, to do with it! ^^

yeah... this is my biggest feelgood factor...

runningly yours.....
