Don't call it a comeback

i ran, yay! for the first time in two months i actually ran. yes, Chicago 2007 turned me off from organized events...but not from running in its entirety. i've not been feeling it lately, but the time, aches, and the pounds started to add up.

i went 3 miles in 29:30, not bad for such along "rest". just under 10 minute pace. don't get me wrong, my lungs were burning at mile 1, and my legs ached by mile 2. but i managed to run the full distance anyway.

it was a beautiful night out. it was snowing large, fluffy flakes. the snow was coming down slowly, just barely masking the tracks of the occasional runner who passed that way before me. it really was a serene little run.

expect more to come.
