Last year’s knee problem did more damage than I initially thought it would. Because I found it so difficult to get in many, if any, running in, perhaps for the first time in my adult life I spent more days not exercising. And I won’t blame this on age, even though I will be 55 this year.

Much like having a job, or a woman in my life, I really miss running. I hope I can get it back, to being a part of my daily routine again.
