Julia, you know of what you so beautifully speak. And take it from this 76 year old, who knows how extremely difficult it is to recapture running fitness once lost...especially as one ages. So runners, once you achieve 10k fitness for example, relish how fine tuned your body feels. Exalt in it. Savor it. Know that ascending the fitness mountain again is no picnic..especially as one ages. Fitness is a magic elixir. Drink from it the rest of your life. You won’t regret it. And if you have “let yourself go” as life served up its myriad challenges, remember the “practice” that made you feel young again. Lace up once again dear runner. The mountain will look and feel like Everest. But find a friend and start climbing. I don’t promise it will be easy but I promise it will be worth it 👣♥️👣
Trust in your practice
And once you achieve fitness
Never let it go...
