Global Running Day

I have not been running much lately. I'm really not sure why not. I have theories. mostly relating to I just don't want to run. When I do put on my sneakers, and start the running app, I default to a brisk powerwalk.

I can't say I am in pain, mostly that I don't find my rhythm. 

I have a theory that I am passionate about a type of exercise for a few years. Then it is time to move on. When I first started working, I took lunchtime strolls. Around the time we moved to our current home I started rollerblading. Then it was running.  I wrote this post in 2015 that I was shifting to cycling, but that never really caught on.

I'm thinking my current interest is powerwalking, and that I shouldn't get upset with myself about it. 

We'll see. Maybe I'll return to running.

An addendum: I decided to dash to Trenton to join the Tuesday night Downtown Fit run after I wrote this. I really enjoy the group. Though no one is near my pace (the runners are too fast, the walkers are too slow) they welcome me. They greet me with a smile and wait to make sure I safely return. It is a community. I set my head on running the usual 2.4 mile loop over the two bridges, but they chose the longer, shadier Stacey Park run. I still did most of the 2.4 miles I had in my head, but walked the last half mile. Stay tuned.
