Running Again

I have started running again, and it feels great!! Not only does my body feel great, but when I run I have time to think. I can get in my head and just let the thoughts start flowing. I’m hoping this will lead to more writing. If you’ve never tried running, you should give it a try. It isn’t as hard as you think. I’m following the Couch to 5K Program from coolrunning.com It starts out really easy with 60 second runs. The runs get longer each week, but your body builds up the stamina for those longer runs. You can get podcasts for this program from itunes. I started this last summer and had worked my way up to 20 minute runs. Then it got cold and I quit. Over the weekend, Bill told me that he was planning to start working out 3 times a week. His plant has a nice workout facility for its employees and their spouses and he was planning to take advantage of it. I was excited that he was going to start working out, but even more excited when he invited me to join him. They have great treadmills that I can run on. I’ve started over at week one and plan to take it easy, but I love it.
