Hiatus - Regrets, I have a few !!!
When I was 25 years old, I was very fit and very committed to running. I ran 6 miles a day. Two miles before work, two miles after work, and two miles just before bed. I know I was supposed to take time off, and take a couple of days off a week. But, I couldn't. I just loved to run. Sometimes I used to run more. I loved it. It never seemed to be a hardship or something that I couldn't fit into my schedule. It was just a part of me. Then, one day a guy asked me out. I had dated before and still kept up my running schedule, but, for some reason, I decided I would not run just for one day. I was supposed to take days off anyway. To make a long story short, I never ran again. Of course, there were a number of factors that contributed to this, but, the reality was clear and I never ran again. I never again experienced that "runner's high" that I previously enjoyed. I have lived another 25 years since then. Today, I am in no physical condition
