Faster.

I couldn't run for 3 days. I missed it so much. 

I missed the sweat that forms in little beads on my forehead

and the way my shirt starts to cling to my body

I missed the way that my legs start to cramp up further and further until I was finished

but they always manage to make it to the end

I missed the way that my stomach clenched itself so tight I thought I was going to be sick

and I missed my stomach unclenching half an hour later

and feeling justifiably ravenous. 

I missed the way that my body didn't want to move for the rest of the day

and I missed the pain of forcing it to move anyway

I especially missed the euphoric feeling of satisfaction at the end of a super long run

where you feel like you have achieved something 

You feel like you have something to live for

You feel like your endorphins have taken acid

and you feel as though this feeling is worth every little bit of pain

that you have ever endured
