… because it’s the closest thing to flying!
That’s what I shared on the running (yes, that’s right!) commentary on the National Running Day Web site.
Today marks the fifth year for this event, which is always held on the first Wednesday in June and organized by a coalition of running groups, including the New York Road Runners. Its goal is to promote the joys and benefits of this glorious sport. There are a number of activities planned across the country.
Today also marked the first time since my injuries (sadly, from running) and two subsequent hip scopes that I’ve actually been able to participate. I did a quick but invigorating three-mile run in the park this morning.
And, yes, when both feet leave the ground, it sometimes feels like I’m flying.
Hey Armando!
It’s always great to hear from you!
I try to post at least once a month, though grad school keeps me busy. Some day I will revamp this site into something really nice.
I’m thrilled to be running regularly, though I have cut back substantially from the old days. I only run three days a week and never back-to-back days. I’m also upping my mileage very gradually.
But one thing that I’ve noticed is that I’m a lot slower than I used to be.
So I’d have to agree with you when you say “It’s just not the same!”
Stay in touch!

Glad you are still blogging! Dont stop, this page will help many future FAI people! I’m glad you are doing better and are back to your love of running. One thing I’ve learned recently is that my body is simply saying ” No Mas”. My knee scope from 25 years ago has stopped me from jogging even though my hip scope 3 years ago for my labrum was fixed. Turning 55 this year and looking to change things up to less impact…but boy do I miss the occasional jog, soccer, basketball….It’s just not the same!
