Life Without Running

It has been a very long while since I posted a running thought for good reason. My running has come to a grinding halt! I have made several attempts at it but each time I pay dearly thanks to a foot injury that refuses to leave. I really miss it and the doctor assures me I will be able to return to this love.
Thankfully I have a new interest I have settled on as a substitute, cycling. I have been at it for 4 weeks now. This week I biked on an 18 mile trail in Mansfield. The weather was perfect and by the end of the day I was content to have broken the 50 mile mark for the day. It seems I have to become obsessive with distance on a bike just as I have with running.
The very same trail I ran last summer is now being covered on wheels. I wish I could have run as quickly as I biked.
