I just turned 33. I find it hard to believe that it’s been 17 years since I first started running.
Growing up, I tried baseball. I loved the game, just wasn’t good at it. I played basketball and played it well, but didn’t have the size to make an impact. Then I found running. It was natural, required guts and came with camaraderie I’d never felt before.
I want to find that again.
That’s part of why I’m here. I’m reimagining this blog. I hope it helps me find running again. I’ve tried this before, with other “back to running” attempts and blogs to chronicle it – and failed. I can’t promise that I won’t fail, but I can promise that I will try not to fail.
Goals
- Start running three to six times a week.
- Begin a strength training routine.
- Run a 5K in June and/or July.
I think this time, I’m keeping things simple enough to start again and find running…
