I think that I’ve become host to some kind of parasitic alien life form that’s slowly taking over my body, or that I’ve become infected with one of those zombie fungi that creep up into your brain and make you act against your best interests. I, the one who once emphatically said “I don’t see how anyone could like running,” realized today that I like to jog. I don’t just feel satisfied that I made a goal and met it. I don’t just feel good that I’m taking care of myself. I actually like to jog.

 

Who is this person wearing my running shoes and what happened to Nel?
