Foot-Strong

I'm not one to give up on my projects easily. At any one time I have multiple projects going, some that have laid dormant for years. I prefer it that way I guess. Like some of the rest of my professional and hobbyist goals lagging behind, running has ended up in that boiling pot. Big time! That pot only gets larger as more years tick away on my body. I postpone a lot these days and resort to my favorite hobby: endlessly reading anything! Over the years I've contemplated giving up running in exchange for different forms of cardio workouts such as, more biking and air boxing, but I just can't seem to kick the running habit just yet. I ran my worst times this year and ended this season for good on just that. I ran the 4 mile Peoria Turkey Trot at 53:30 and the FOLEPI 4 miler at 49:50. FOLEPI was a mostly downhill race and was expected to be an easy and out for Wendy and I. She didn't fare well either with similar, but better times then me at both showings. All my plans to get my knee and back injuries back to 100% when it comes to training on foot has not worked out very well. 2019 will bring the same sporadic runs until something gives, one way or another. #Trailing
