starting over


i never quite running entirely, i just stopped doing it regularly. so every month, it seemed, i would start over. but it never stuck. there were injuries. first the arches. i never really got my groove back after the arch problem. much later, in early spring 2009, sciatica struck. good LORD, that was painful. and it felt like it went on and on and on. with the help of my chiro, some good books (sciatica solutions, and healing back pain), and a great yoga DVD (thank you, Rodney Yee!) i was able to slowly work myself back to a pain free exitstence.

life got in the way, too. being laid off, starting a new job, moving house. naturally, i could have run all the way through all of that, and would have been the better for it. but i kept finding reasons not to lace up my shoes.

well, i've run out of reasons. so here i go.
