I’m back at it!  I took the obligatory time off after straining the ‘ol achilles tendon and, I have to say, so far so good.  I had a 3 1/2 mile run on a beautiful Sunday afternoon where the typical January weather gave way to 50+ degree sunshine.  It wasn’t fast.  It wasn’t far.  What it was was a step toward continuing the journey.  

I feel a bit as if I’m writing as a recovering alcoholic but, truth is, I’m back on the bandwagon today and we’ll see how tomorrow goes 🙂

Ironically, I found an old iPod while cleaning yesterday….it started with “Enter Sandman” from Metallica and I was immediately brought back to the harsh competitive days of college athletics.  I pressed firmly and ran hard….the very next song?  “Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old” by Garth Brooks… a laughable contrast and a gentle reminder to remember that I’m 36, not 18.
