weekly check-in

Happy Monday (in almost all timezones)!

Inspired by [personal profile] ilanarama, have an inspirational quote: "There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you." Said by George Sheehan

How was your week, and what do you have planned for this week?

I believe [personal profile] shanaqui. I've always hated running, but I used to walk for two hours every day many years ago, and I loved it. I felt jittery and missed it fiercely when I couldn't go.

I've thought about why I don't like running, and I think it has to do with being forced to run beyond my limits in school. I have some joint problems and asthma, and I can definitely feel how the c25k program is much, much better at challenging me without overtaxing me than I've ever been on my own, or than a PE teacher has ever been.

Great to know you're reading! I think that will help motivate me to stick with it and to update my journal.
