Your example is a good one. I can never imagine starting over at total ground zero but like I said above I respect anyone who is. You were so right about running around here in the winter JT. It is hard, at least it has been the past few weeks. Being sick kept me down but the super cold temps that we had, lack of sunlight, snow, ice, etc. makes it a challenge to get any quality short or long runs in. But now I can tell the sun's angle has changed a bit and it has warmed up a touch so I think it will be easier through the rest of the winter. But from mid December to mid January seems to be a really bad time. Even if I was not sick it would have been a tough stretch of running.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654448234395611422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184820795110194108.post-76656840520118122822015-01-19T09:31:45.145-08:002015-01-19T09:31:45.145-08:00Well I can tell you the way I have been shuffling ...Well I can tell you the way I have been shuffling around this past week, if anyone saw me I am sure they thought "sofa" too! I think it is great that anyone is out doing anything regardless of where they are starting etc. The ones who are really out of their comfort zones, both physically and mentally, and I always have great respect for that.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654448234395611422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184820795110194108.post-23682524938984653022015-01-19T06:18:46.869-08:002015-01-19T06:18:46.869-08:00I'm all about the newbies and out of shape fol...I'm all about the newbies and out of shape folks getting out there, love seeing that stuff.

I didn't have the physical issues, but starting running at age 35 -- I mean literally learning how to run -- had its challenges. You see over and over how transformative it can be.mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.com
