Not used to feeling good, wood crafting?, running dreams redux

I’ve been having more moments of feeling good and am not used to it. These past few years it was an anomaly when I felt good, so I’m often surprised when I tell myself - “I feel good!”

When I do - I still have a bit of PTSD from it because when I did feel I had those rare moments of feeling good, the bottom would drop out and I’d feel weak-ass more than usual.

I feel like all this regular exercising is making a difference - things are not perfect and I still get moments of fatigue but they’re fewer these days, fingers crossed.

My clothes are fitting looser, and muscles are appearing in places I hadn’t seen in a long time, so I’d say we are making good progress so far. Yay!

I still have this odd yearning to start working and creating with wood - as in build things - useful and also artistic. And paint ’em with art - use the wood as a canvas.

For whatever reason, this excites me so it seems to be something I ought to take a look at and see if there’s a way to have a mobile workshop I can take with me.

Maybe use hand tools only?

xTerra odometer struck 177177 when I looked at it. What a strange and nifty coincidence!

One of my dreams last night I was running more strongly and effortlessly than usual. My legs felt stronger and that they could go further and faster so I started pulling away and woke up feeling good.

It’s also my body telling me it wants to run (like past dreams) and so we shall tomorrow, probably @ Blues Creek trail.

Running in beauty, we shall!

(And another sign my exercise regimen seems to be working if new strength is showing up in dreams too.)
