When running sometimes I wonder why every run is so unique. I never quite feel exactly the same, there is of course always that happy natural high, but more often I notice other flavors in how I feel. Maybe I am more intentional about it and pay more attention to how the body and the mind feel afterwards. Nevertheless each run is like a flavorful dish that every time tastes familiar but never identically the same.
I love it about running, but maybe even more how I get to experience it. It is a very sensual experience, the eyes get to experience the beauty of the surroundings, the ears get to hear the sounds of the streets or the trail (or the beautiful music or book I am listening to), the nose gets to smell the smell of flowers, rain.. or the exhaust of the cars (although many drive EVs here, so less so). The touch... sometimes I just run with my hand slightly open as if I want to touch the air... it's a very special feeling... how can you touch the air? Try it sometimes when you run fast (and going downhill), you feel like flying.
Beautiful run for all my senses.
