Just keep running
Yesterday, Valerie and I ran the Cambridge 5K. It was the second 5K that we’ve done and it was the first time either of us had run an event that was officially timed. According to the web, the temperature for the run was 24 degrees. That’s right….it was super cold. Fortunately, we were both bundled up…unlike some of the race participants. Several runners had on some sweet costumes!
For me, running has been something that has challenged me throughout my life. When I ran track in junior high, I suffered from exercise-induced asthma. I dislocated my left knee during my first year of high school. My knees have always been cranky. However, running in my 30s has become something that I enjoy. And, my knees and lungs have not bothered me for the most part. I think I’m in better shape now than I was when I was in my 20s. Running allows for a lot of contemplative thinking, helps with stress reduction / sleep, and keeps me more physically fit then I would be if I wasn’t pounding the pavement.
Here’s the start of the Cambridge 5K race. Check us out at about 47 seconds in! Read the rest of this entry »
