Running Again!

After a nine hiatus, I am back in the running game again! I can't believe I let myself slip ( oh yes, I can - who am I kidding?), but after celebrating my 47th birthday last Friday and trying on some cute summer things I picked up at the end of the season in 2008 that are, shall I say, a "bit tight," right now, I am back on the program. I ran four miles this morning - it was tough and slow, but I was determined to not stop and take a break. I did OK and I know with practice my time will improve. I have a great pair of Saucony shoes that I just love and they really alleviate the pressure on my knees. Am I really middle-aged? I just don't want to believe it.
