As an adult-onset runner, I wish that I hadn't waited so long to give it a try. I started running at age 36 in January 2007, did my first 5k in April '07, and then my first half marathon (IU Mini) in Sept '07. I'll never be one of the fastest runners on the course, but you can recognize me by my ever-present smile.

I Love/Hate my Body
Or maybe it's the other way around? Today is one of those days where I'm disgusted with the way my body works. Doc left me a message yesterday with some unexpected test results which will result in me needing more tests. In case that's not enough, the timing of these tests will leave me all off-kilter when I start my new job in 2 weeks. Just what I wanted: Hi, I'm your new employee and I need to take a week off because my body refuses to play nice. Oh, lucky me. My heel is still nagging at me in spite of 2 days of rest. The weather is great, my mental state could really use a run, but the fear of making the mystery heel injury worse has me taking another unplanned rest day. Nothing like a day where I both desperately need a run to clear my head and my body needs a rest day to heal itself. Some days, it just sucks no matter how you look at it.
