Zoe’s Journal

One only realizes as they exercise how sedentary they have actually become. Since I have started going regularly to the gym - playing basketball or running the treadmill, I have noticed an increase in my energy, and a more vivid mental awareness of everything around me. No longer does the creeping moss feel welcome upon this log! I have shaken it off and found my power. My body is alive - it wants to move, to run, to jump. It wants to scream RRRAAAAARRRR I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR!!! I can definitely feel the new levels of testosterone surging within as my desire for competition increases. Like a triumphantly victorious warrior, that scream just builds up, vibrating frustration in its intensity, being held back for the fear of rafters falling in that great crescendo over my head. I am Amazon, of that feared woman tribe - nothing can stand against the thunder of my strides.
