Run Lola Run

PS—A thought just occurred to me while I was reading my yoga book. It kind of occurred to me on today’s run, but I don’t think I quite understood it. It occurred to me why I like running with music—when it’s the right music, the right tempo, the right song for your mood, and your body gets into a rhythm, a flow, almost a trance…it honestly feels a little bit like flying. Today it was “Paradise Lost” by Storyhill. Some days it’s “Breakaway” by Kelly Clarkson. Or it might be Modest Mouse or Weezer. (I think it’s usually Weezer.) But whatever the tune, there’s always a moment, right before I become aware of it, where I really feel like I am flying. And it’s awesome. And that’s why I like running with music.
