running

I'm not really a runner. I mean, if it's part of a game or sport or other activity, I'll run without thinking about it. But to run just for the sake of running - for exercise - is better left to those with a passion for it. Many years ago, I decided to start running. I got up early and wrote "First Day of Running" on my calendar. Out the door I ran. Up and down hills. Across many streets. In and around neighborhoods. A few miles later, as I arrived home after a grueling run, I ran straight for my calendar and wrote "Last Day of Running." And it was. But I do appreciate the effort runners put in to stay motivated and to keep-on-keeping-on. Whether you're young or old, if you run for work or sport or just for fun, here's a photographic tribute to you.
