Soggy Run

It feels good to do what you're supposed to do... Yesterday though there was a storm I set out to finish my 3mile run and 1/2 mile warm up walk and 1/2 mile cool down walk. It was done! Yay. I was out at the lake with a few other soggy souls. We nodded as we wipped the rain from our cheeks and eye lids. Smiles from the kids who were trying to get to a dry spot under a tree with their scooters. Struggle: my knees are suffering with this arthritis and it takes me a good mile to warm them up. My right knee especially. This is unfortunate. So muscled through the work out and I realized it is time to get this last 40lbs off. This will be the hardest part of the journey. As the song says "its about the climb" right? I've been here before, and if i want to continue this athletic life, I must do what it takes. 40lbs lighter here I come! H.A.
