When you are running.

Or not.

Or not writing.

It has been ages since I have posted.

I don’t know why. I love my running blog. I like writing about running, and running, and running while writing, or writing while running . . . okay, maybe not, but you get my drift.

Yet i have not posted.

I hit a down turn this summer. Maybe it is the humidity – i hate it. Maybe I just needed to cut back mileage and stop being so damn, well, strict with my schedule.

So that is what I did.

I became more flexible. Less rigid.

And my running has vastly improved.

I will be writing again . . . and my next post will be about rigidity in scheduling – the ugliness of it all. Yes, there are good things about having a running schedule; but, quite honestly, sometimes it is best to just run when you want to run – or even if it is just when you can.

With two young kids, sometimes that is at night, sometimes in the morning. Sometimes that is running 10 miles hwen you thought three and three when you thought ten.

WIth young kids and running you learn one important lesson – running is good no matter when you get to it. You just have to get to it.
