When I started running again in my mid 40’s it was a complete shock to both my body and my mind/ego. It is SO much harder to get back into shape as we age. The starting over is painful and humbling. Day by day it got better and the first few days and weeks were pretty tough and then there is a breakthrough and suddenly it wasn’t as difficult. Slowly I started improving my pace. And now it is my happy place.
Is it like this in other areas of life? Is the restarting or starting over always so painful at first? How long will it be hard? When will I show progress? These are the questions I have today. When will I find a new happy place?
Run happy!
