Good job, well done. I ran back in high school track, from Hyde Park to McCormic place. So I know how fierce that lake in winter can be. I ran distance, I was fast. I took that focuss to many different activities in my life, you will too. Its not so much the runnung as it how you have to push yourself just that litle bit further. Each time you make that goal you reset the goal. I don't know if your born with that drive or you develope it, but it sure feels good.

It must feel pretty fraking good to be you! Y...Wow! It must feel pretty fraking good to be you! You also simultaneously put me to shame and inspired me. I have not logged a single mile since mid December. My excuse? 77+ inches of snow fallen this winter (all time record!). I would kill to have your winter running gear.<br /><br />You could not have said it better. This is just the start. Imagine what lies ahead! mindboggling when you consider it is the rest of your life.<br /><br />I endured a similar period right after the end of my one year marriage. It took me almost a year and a half to get to the start. Once I did start the ride has exceeded all my expectations.<br /><br />This last break up the hardest of them all, taught me what I was made of, but the journey continued.<br /><br />Your achievement lies not so much in that you finally got started. It lies in the fact that you have the inner strength to start, over and over again. That takes courage, spirit, heart, perseverance, commitment and a noble mind. They were all inside you all along. <br /><br />You have finally harnessed them.Congratulations!<br /><br />...Pretty proud of you too! ;)<br /><br />SantaslilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135365867168141495.post-72629014692229204172010-03-26T09:35:50.698-05:002010-03-26T09:35:50.698-05:00As a converted runner myself- welcome aboard!
