Once A Runner…

Years Gone; Opportunities Missed & Time Wasted

Ah, hello there… again.  I bet you’re surprised I managed to find my way back here, aren’t you?

Well, I am surprised that I did.  Though it’s a damned shame I can’t just pick back up where I left off, wandering back in from where I got lost and resume as if nothing happened.  Ha!  Human bodies — especially old, out-of-shape human bodies — just don’t work that way.  Pity, I know, but consequences are harsh and we reap what we sow, and quite deservedly so.

The ponytail is gone again, and probably forever this time — not that it has a thing to do with my fitness or anything… just an update, I guess.

The running shoes have been back on my feet for a little over a month now, but I’m still just walking… for now… again.  I’m getting up early and walking, then making and eating a good breakfast, every morning before work, with a longer walk on Saturday mornings, and sometimes taking Sunday morning off (but not always).

I’ve got a lot of fitness work ahead of me.  I’m supposedly old enough now to settle down and make better plans and execute more carefully than in the distant — and even recent — past.  Well, theoretically anyway.

So, lets see if I can start getting it right this time around.
