suddenly started noticing stairs, and how out of breath they caused me to be. i started to sleep badly. i forgot how much i loved running, and what it did for me both mentally and physically.
in the past, i would have gotten very down about this loss of fitness. i might have given up running forever. not this time. i now know better. i know that you can always start up again. it may take a while to get back to where you were, but it is possible. that’s just what i am doing. i have been getting out for three 20 minute runs a week. i am so slow.
