How did I get into this?

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.
