i should not be allowed to watch tv AND run

this morning as I am running on the treadmill at the gym (ps i have really come to enjoy running mainly because of how it is changing my body and not for any other reason) and so I am flipping stations, about to plug in my ipod instead when I come to Channel 2 news and their segments on everyday "Angels" - special people in our country.

Today's Angel was a young boy with cerebral palsy from Texas....He was chosen as an Angel and his dream was to be granted....his dream was to sit front row at a baseball game....Well as I write this I get goosebumps because the excitement this boy exuded as they wheeled him onto the grass at Citifield was so touching. He got to meet all the Mets, including his favorite David Wright....I am tearing now as i write this. Asd I am watching this and running I start to cry...like really cry....not because I feel bad for the boy but because of how happy I was to see how happy he was! He was truly so excited for this moment in his life!!! The followed up by having him live on the show where they presented him and his mom with gifts and a trip o Disney. He squealed with delight. And my tears continued to flow. Oy.

So of course what a wonderful moment for this young boy and how wonderful it made me feel to witness his joy.

BUT let's discuss how I can even allow myself to cry on the treadmill, running at full speed, at 8am in a somehwat busy gym. The man next to me was frightened and totally thought I was experiencing some menstrual related.
