The Running Man

T Minus two days until the birth of my daughter and things are starting to get exciting. I wonder incessantly about what she'll look like and who, Godwilling, she'll grow up to be. I hope I'm up to the task.

I've got to get another workout in today - there is absolutely nothing worse than maintenance workouts. After years of swimming competitively in the pool, striving for lofty goals, this is what Im left with - workout because its the healthy thing to do - whatever happened to the fun part? I think it's completely gone.

The one bright side, outside of living a little longer in what I can only identify as a world slipping into chaos, is that I'm running again. My motorcycle accident which damn near took my left leg almost 6 years ago left me without the ability to run. The prospect of not being able to do that ever again really started to weigh on me over the last couple years so I slowly started to try it out about 4 months ago. My last running workout went almost two miles - guess that's a good thing...the man is running.
