Down this morning
I'm pretty sure I am beginning one of my downward spirals this morning. The uncertanties of my future are creeping in again.
The people in my life as sensative as sandpaper or better yet as emotional as a cardboard box. I did start running again yesterday and plan on running a 5k in May. I also decided on day's that begin with a "T" I would leave my cell phone In the car and not check it till I'm leaving for the day. This is a start of me gaining some of time back and not worrying so much about dealing with energy sucking people. They seem to thrive on my energy because I let them-Im going to start following their lead and pulling back.
I think a solo camping weekend is in order.

I haven't run in over a year and I put on some weight. I need to diet and start by doing a little speed walking and try to get back into it. Not running for so long turned alot of my muscle into fat :)
If you lived closer to me, we could be running buddies! :-) It's lonely running alone, but you will have fun in that 5K which is about 3.1 miles. A race that long use to take me about 33 minutes. I was not a fast runner. Good luck and have fun with that. Let us know about your experience because it might encourage some couch potatoes like me to exercise! Back at the old DS they use to give away "Daily Strength" T shirts to people who were running in road races. That was back in the old days before our founder...Doug Hirsh sold it to Sharecare.... I wish they would do that again.
God Bless
I don't run unless somebody is chasing me, or vice versa, but I love walking enough that I have no problem understanding the attraction. I seldom feel alone when I am walking. All I have to do is open my eyes to find proof that life is all around me. I will never be alone in the Great Outdoors. Guess what I dedicate most of my hours to when I am solo camping, but I walk in whatever space I find myself. Birds and squirrels are delightful conversationalists. I believe they are the smartest politicians I have ever debated with.
Don't forget to vent freely about those creeping doubts when they do their creepy invasion thing. Damned creeps. . . Can't they take the hint and *just* stay away? ? ?
Sigh. . . The load is easier when shared. Listening. . .
