Lena Dunham is Being Empowering & Inspirational. As Usual.

As usual, with all of Lena Dunham's exercise related posts, it is empowering and inspirational. I might even give this running lark a whirl myself.

"Not usually one to post a paparazzi shot but this fills me with pride. Basically my whole life I have hated running and run like a wounded baby Pterodactyl. It was embarrassing and honestly I did not trust myself to escape a burning building or even move briskly towards a buffet. @jennikonner is directing the season finale of Girls and decided that as Hannah evolved so would her run, so she got me a training session with Matt Wilpers from Mile High Run Club. Within an hour I had a different relationship to this formerly torturous activity. I felt strong, swift and proud. I'm not about to embrace that triathlon life but it's a true joy to continue getting more connected to my body and its powers.

Are you a runner? Are you gazelle like or feel more like a wounded baby Pterodactyl?
