I never minded if they ran over because I enjoyed so much being a part of their journey.

Then I read your advice and thought, well, if elderly nuns pass me on the path, so be it! And I began running very slowly. So, so, so slowly. I doubt you can even imagine how slowly. Every other day, with swimming on the off days.

Now I run competitively.

While I have run in the past, your blog has been a big motivator to get back into it. In particular, every time I'm feeling slow and discouraged, I remember your advice to start slow and work up. It's gotten me through a number of moments of running-induced despair.Solitary Diner (Also Known as The Frugalish Physician)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01239189582752445700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-91448608746960917132013-05-14T13:14:16.677-04:002013-05-14T13:14:16.677-04:00Yes, perhaps he saves the best for last!

Even more important, he probably took whole classes in how to set boundaries. I can not make my therapist do anything he doesn't want to do. In fact, he probably looks forward to seeing me all day because I am That Fabulous. :-)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493181798474313noreply@blogger.com
