My Running Mission Statement
IT'S BEEN ABOUT two years since I picked up the habit of running. In which time, I have done the following: Lost 62 lbs Improved my heart health significantly Crashed into the ground and mangled by money-makin' face Gained 40 lbs back Loved myself Hated myself Gave up Tried again Gave up again Tried, yet again I'm on the upswing again. Winter's over and I'm more able (and inclined) to run because of the warmth, as well as the ability to see where I'm going. Plus, I recently bought a pair of Brooks Adrenaline shoes , which have turned out to be a god-send for my poor, achin' feet. One of the biggest helps in my previous running attempts was the fact that my home at the time was conveniently located so I had a five-mile circuit I could enjoy running. My current home is downtown. While I certainly have more options as far as where I can run, there's definitely a different aesthetic to an urban run. No longer can I breathe the fresh air...
