Time to Start

Tweet

Multiple flat tires, combined with monetary issues that prevent me from fixing the latest one, have pretty much put my cycling career on hold for now, possibly for the entire summer. So I'm going to reinvent myself as a jogger. I'll be starting off jogging around the park across the street. It's a quarter-mile loop (I've measured it on both my bike and my scooter.) I've created an account on runningahead.com so that I can keep track of my stats, and I've got a pair of New Balance running shoes on my feet. I'm going to try for a mile later tonight (not impressive, but it's been about six years since I last ran seriously. My body will let me know when to add mileage.) In high school, I ran both track and cross country, putting in 70 miles a week. And of course, in the Army, we ran everyday. I spent a little over a year in Wyoming (six years ago,) where I ran 121 miles one summer. It's time to get back to that. I've got to start somewhere, and it begins tonight.
