Several months ago I decided to give running a try. Why? I'm not sure. I'm in relatively good shape, working out weekly at a nearby gym. The gym is also where I go to share the church/Christ oddly enough. Most there know that I'm a minister and they refer to me as "Rev". I spend a ton of time discussing theological issues there.
Back to running...
One day I decided that I haven't given it a try so I thought I'd add it to the long list of attempted things in my life. I started out with just a jog for a mile but within about 4 weeks I ran 10 miles without stopping with another minister friend of mine. Boy did that make me tired! Since then, I have stuck with it completing several long runs (for me) including most recently 12 miles without stopping. I enjoy running the local greenways the most.
If you aren't regularly exercising then I hope you'll consider it. Walking or running can be a blast, especially outdoors - and yes, I will run in the winter outdoors as well.
