I must be crazy. Tuesday, I mentioned to Kathryn that I was thinking about running a half marathon over the weekend. Now, the crazy part comes in here: the last time I ran “distance” was in September for the Blue Ridge Relay. And, the longest leg of that run was 5.9 miles! I haven’t been running much at all on a regular basis since then. I’m not sure why I wanted to do it — guess to just see if I COULD do it. And it turns out, I did it. My time was fairly slow for me, but at least I ran over the finish line. That’s something! It also made me realize that I am not anxious to do a marathon. I guess it would be different if I actually would have trained for this race! Anyway, I can still run. I’m always amazed by muscle memory. Just like I’m surprised every time I get back in the pool after months and realize, “hey! I can still swim.” Silly me!
