You Gotta Walk Before You Run

I used to be a decent runner. I was never fast or did anything crazy like qualify for Boston, but my commitment and perseverance helped me to complete 1 full marathon, 13 half marathons and too many 5Ks to count. But that was before I had my girls, before my neck and back injuries and before my COVID-related struggles. Well, I’m officially back at it and trying to at least build up to do a 5K within the next few months. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to build up to doing anything competitive; I never really ran competitively to begin with. This also isn’t my first, second or even third attempt at getting back into running on a regular basis, and I’m kind of over here holding my breath that I can keep my body and life together enough to be consistent. Hopefully, I can build up to doing something I can be proud of for comeback purposes but for now, I’m keeping my training and goals simple enough to just keep going. To be continued.
