I was just looking at the calendar and realized that four weeks from today, when I am officially allowed to try running again, I will be at the AIMS Tech Retreat in St. Michael’s, MD. I cannot think of a better place to be to allow my feet to pound the pavement once again. My entire body and mind change when I cannot go running. Yes, swimming is great but it doesn’t work my body in the same way. When I run, everything in life is better and I can handle life in a more relaxed, focused way. So I just keep saying, “soon”, when people ask when I can run again. Soon.
Where is the most beautiful place you have ever run? Do other forms of exercise effect you the way running does?
Riding out in the fields and woods is for me what running is for you. I can take Emma, get on Harry and disappear for hours into my own mind.
