Running
So, with the run today (5 miles), I've totaled 21 miles run this week, plus a 12 mile bike ride on Sunday. Which means it took me all week to run and bike down to and across the Poplar Street Bridge! This week I did mostly toe running, but Thursday I ran on the road and bike path and ran flat footed instead. I enjoy mixing up the two ways of running - but it is the toe running that my calves sit up and protest over. You know, if someone told me ten years ago that I'd be regularly running for an hour at a shot (or longer) and thinking nothing of it, I'd have laughed them off. Life is funny that way - running is like asparagus. I ended up absolutely loving it when I wouldn't dream of touching it as a youngster.

You did not like Asparagus as a youngster?
Nope; nor running!
Pastor, how did you get started with running? and how long did it take you to start enjoying it? Inspire me... :)
Brenda,
My wife actually got me hooked. She started. And I just ran with her occasionally, though not as far or as fast at first. I guess it was last summer I started being serious about it. I found out I could do it! And I just kept pushing the envelope. Furthest run so far is 15 miles. A key for me was finding the right shoes - the vibrams. All leg pain GONE. And the biggest inspiration came from reading *Born to Run*. Check it out!
Good for you.
You mean corn... Right?
LEW!
Just sayin... And who said it was me! It could have been mom, bek, Dum Dum, or even grandma! We aaaaall know your taste buds are funky!!!
You might as well run a marathon.
