I'm back....(i hope)

Awhile ago, a former student wanted to start a blog. But he was hesitant. As I was excitedly sharing all the benefits of blogging, my own personal blog was shared. (This is HUGE for me! These are just my own thoughts for just me, the audience of one) But the challenge was put down. I would start blogging again, if he would start his blog. For me that means that I must start running again. I am not sure how long I have not been running. I know that my last post on this blog was last year (too long!). But for a while, I would run once, then something would happen and I would stop. I tried to start again when school started. But with all the newness of school (new students, new schedule, new textbook), I felt that I was too busy/stressed. For about a month, I wanted to run, but I also did not want to leave my couch. Finally, I had enough! Anyway, I am not getting too excited. I have run only 3 times since Monday. But at least I am not sore, anymore. (Tuesday and Wednesday I was hobbling around, like I was 100 years old.) It is slow going. I am having trouble getting up the hills. I know it is all in my head: I am fine, then I see the hill and suddenly I am achy/winded. Today, I pushed past two stopping points. It is not much, but I started.....and I plan to run tomorrow.
