You’re Brave
My “for the health” routine has continued through our endless snow days. I have alternated running with shoveling as my cross training exercise. I am finally able to run a mile without stopping. (I must stop to walk over icy patches missed by the plow. It’s for my safety, really, and not just because I am in such sorry shape.)
My great achievement today was that I completed the mile in 13 minutes 26 seconds. Josiah can now rightfully claim he is more than two times faster than his mother.
The running guy gave me his usual cheery greeting this morning, but the lady walking her dog let me know my odds weren’t too good. “You’re brave,” she said. The way she looked at me and her tone of voice led me to one of two conclusions: either she was commenting on my running on the bad roads, or she was commenting on me running at all.
