An outward and visible sign

Well, OK, here’s a more reasonable idea. Rather than buying a set of warm-ups that I will never actually wear, why not buy a set that I will wear for the purpose for which they were intended? Radical, I know. What I also know and you do not necessarily is that I have packed on somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 or 50 pounds in the last year or so. Yes. 40 or 50. Its a total of 70 from when I was my lightest. This is not good.

So, a set of warm-ups. Not for sitting around in, but for walking in. I am of an age that walking counts as exercise. That’s pathetic, but it is also where I am in my journey. So I’ll walk until I can run. Of course, I will have to do one of those walk a little bit, run a little bit things for a while. That kind of bums me out, but it also gives me a certain amount of hope. And a set of warm-ups that are more than just a goofy Christmas present to myself. These things are a way back.

  1. I’m at 12-15 lbs picked up during a one year funk (and counting). But I swear, as Scarlett O’Hara is my witness, I’ll drop those lbs and rediscover the joy of running.
