A Single Paragraph Excerpt from a Collection of Personal Non Fiction Essays (!)


My body counter attacked with a treadmill addiction. It wasn’t possible, after I feverishly ran on a treadmill for an hour to two, not to get high.  In a present effort to maintain personal balance, yoga, deep breaths or nothing, I think is healthier for me. But before, I swore every time I hit the bright green treadmill button that I'd finish in time for, say, work.  I threw in an extra minute for good measure.  Those extra minutes spiraled out of control.  I considered the possibility of an immediate post work out high more sparkly than others.  After I sweat until my body is ready to shut down, there’s a moment for me that everything is like crystal.  Not simply crystal clear, but crystal.  It lasted 60 seconds, and once upon a time, the cost of that sparkle, equaled the price.
