I started running again

I just got done with a 10 minute run well actually 10:24 minute mile jog but who cares I was out there. I am not sure why I started wanting to run again after so long but I did and I am enjoying it. I started running in 2002 and did a half marathon back in 2009. Right after that marathon I stopped running and would only do it here and there over the last 13 years. But something in me a few weeks ago said to get back out there, so I have been doing a few walk/runs so that I do not injure myself.

I have never been the type of person to do anything in moderation lol. I am either ALL IN or NOT AT ALL. However, at the age of 51 almost 52 I am finally learning to slow it down and listen. My body isn't what it was years ago, it’s been through a lot (Cancer, a colostomy bag, hysterectomy and my gall bladder removed) in the last 7 years. I feel so blessed to still be here to be able to try new things or to do things I have done before. So in comes the running lately and it has been helping me to clear my mind. It is like a moving mediation for me right now.

This past year I stopped doing so many things from a work perspective, even stopped posting on social media everyday and having a podcast episode every week. It was like I needed the break and now I am in a place where I feel I need to do something and have been wondering what it is. Running is helping me to find that.

People have been telling me since the Cancer that I should write a book. I have started it so many times but it has never been finished. I think it is time that I do that. But my mind says who would read it? Are you a good writer? Where do I start? I am not good enough to write. Is my story or what I have to say that important? I think it maybe and who knows like the podcast has helped people over the last couple of years, maybe the book would too?

To be continued….
