It is the best feeling to have the sensation of being strong in whatever you do.
This last week or so I am finally have a strength in my legs (and to a lesser extent my core) that has not been there for at least two years. Running, while still not fast, is comfortable and I can lift my pace when I need to. Even when I my legs really tire (about 2 hours into the 2.5 hours of running for the weekend), I am able to keep plodding along, when only a matter of weeks ago I would have stopped to walk.
Rugby refereeing has started again and I am just astounded how much time I have compared to last season. I can make decisions with so much more clarity and avoid potential collisions with players or the ball in a way that was not possible before.
Even working at a two-storeyed venue last Thursday, I absolutely delighted in bouncing up the stairs. No pain, no puffing and no tiring..
How can I have let myself go so badly after Challenge? This feeling is too good to not continue being fit forever.
