Amazingly enough, at 29, I've become a runner. OK, maybe I shouldn't claim the title just yet ;), but for the past week and a half, I've been running about 2 miles a day-- which probably seems like a pittance to you REAL runners out there, but for me it's huge! (I always felt, in previous running attempts, like I was plodding along, each step more painful and boring than the last-- even when I was crazyfit and big-time into cycling!) My theory, now, is that it's more of a mental thing than a physical one. Perhaps I'm running away from stress? From papers that are due in a week and a half? Or maybe it's just really nice to be out here in the country, with the sunshine, and no stoplights or sidewalks or fumes. Not sure. Regardless, I'm planning on running 11 miles with Annie, next fall (at Cades Cove, in the Smokies), and am in the market for great running music. So if you have any to recommend, let me know.
