Running, running, running!

Started running in spring. I started very small, just running down the street to someone's mailbox. Then I walked to the next mailbox before running again. I was running a mile in a month or so. Over the summer, I was running 3+ miles.

Running builds stamina. It takes off weight. It builds muscle. It improves cardiovascular conditioning. It feels great. It builds confidence. When I realized I could run a mile, it felt like an axel. A successful running goal met is like an axel or a double to me.

If your body can take it, start running. I have never been stronger. I'm 39 yrs old and have better stamina than most kids. I skate faster and stronger than ever, even though I only skate an hour or 2 per week.
