But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. - Isaiah 40:31

Will I Be Running Again?


As some of you may or may not have noticed, this blog seems to have been abandoned. Only temporarily!

I've been a slug all winter. But spring is coming and Romie and I intend to get back with the running program as soon as there is a break in the weather. No, we didn't join a health club for the winter, as we'd once considered. No, we haven't done anything to keep up our level of fitness. (Old habits die hard.) But soon, all this cold and snow nonsense will be a thing of the past and we'll once again don our running shoes and start the process of getting in shape once again.

Would I have done this before last year? No way. I hated running, remember? I can't say that I've fallen in love with it, but it does appeal to me in a way that has taken me by surprise. My training last year is beckoning me to do a repeat performance. Maybe not as disciplined as I was, but I'm determined to run several 5Ks as soon as I am in shape for them. I know there will be some popping up around here, come May or thereabouts, so as soon as it warms up a bit, I'll be hitting the road.

Shocking, isn't it?
