Dear Country Road,
I’ve missed you.
I have been running for about nine years. At least I think it has been
nine. I would actually have to sit down and calculate it because it is such a
part of me that I have kinda forgotten. I just know, that I am runner.
With the exception of the last two years, I run everyday that I am at
home and able to. Sometimes that means seven days a week and sometimes that
means three. However, two
years ago, a wind powered development and production project began in our area
and with it, came vehicle after vehicle down our country road. I no longer
enjoyed running outside and chose to use our elliptical machine.
The wind
powered project is now completed and up and running. There are no more extra
crew workers and vehicles down our road, and today as the sun poured in on me
at my desk, I chose to take a break and run outdoors.
It was
fabulous!
I am thrilled
that I never gave up on running and supplemented with the elliptical, and am pleasantly
astonished at how far ahead in my training I am, than I usually am at this time
of year. Typically, in April, I am still training with a few one-minute walks
during my run, but today it was continuous and I am celebrating.
As the warmer
weather unfolds before me, I know that I will enjoy my country road more than I
ever have.
