I have been a runner for a long time. It has always been my preferred choice of exercise. My legs have carried me many, many miles and across lots of finish lines. I have ran a 26.2, 13.1 (many times), a Ragnar and many other races in between. I proudly wear my Full Marathon race medal around my neck almost every day....of course it helps it is a Tiffany's necklace! After 20+ years of running my body doesn't feel the same as my heart does about running. I have had problems with my foot and back.....and sometimes even small miles seem endless. Yet, when I am done with my goal for the day, I feel GREAT! Running takes things away, I don't think....I just release and go! Nothing compares to a good run. So I am slowly hitting the pavement once again. Building speed, strength and endurance. I have a goal in mind but to say it out loud is scary because I have never not completed a running goal. So for now, until I can get my miles up, see how my foot does, I will be happy enjoying my favorite Me Time activity.

What an amazing image, Melisa. I don't run, but I like to take brisk walks.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking time to comment! I like to walk too, especially after a few days of a really strong workout!
DeleteLove this image! I am so glad you are running again. Although I love to stay active, I’ve never been a runnner and I always am a little envious of those who can embrace that. You have a lot to be proud of with milestones you have achieved and goals you are working toward! I don’t remember the Tiffany necklace!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen! I am sure you have seen the necklace I wear! We will see what happens as I am getting my miles up!
DeleteGreat image, I love the pov :-) Congrats on such great achievements! I don't run, but I agree with Iris, I do love my brisk walks :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Jill! Running has always been my favorite but it is really hard on the body! I do love walking too!
