Dear Friends,
After a too-long hiatus,
I’ve taken up running again.
I’m not very fast, but speed
has never been my goal. I
like to go for long runs in
hopes of doing a marathon
again – yes, a marathon when

I’m Living Well 50 Plus (I did my first one back in
1994. It’s time to do another one!). It helps a lot
to have people honk their horns at me and give
me a thumbs up. That gives me the motivation
and inspiration I need to keep going. And I hope
in turn that I am being an inspiration to others.
Perhaps someone will see me out there slogging
along and think, “Hm, if she can do it, so can I.”
So if you happen to see me out on the road, toot
your horn at me and watch me pick up my head
and my pace. I hope soon to start doing 5K races
again. The best part of that is, I might very well be
the only person in my age group in some of these
races, so I’ll win all the medals and trophies –
unless, of course, you decide to get out there and
run, too. I hope you do.
Tanya
