I Am a Runner

I was a middle distance runner back in high school..a middle distance 1500 and 3000 in our state..I would use up energy trying to get with the leaders to do some front running myself..nothing unusual to get elbowed and stepped on..someone might go down or others try to box me in..it's hard running in a pack with maybe 3 others and the rest of the field chasing us..there is a difference between runners and racers..look at it that way..
I quit the tracks after my last race..I do treadmill maybe an elyptical..

Do you do any cross country running

I did up til my Jr year but it got in the way of home responsibilities back then and I didn't mind giving it up..

@cruzenleticia: Sorry to hear that. What about to day. Do you ever just out running or is that mostly for your treadmill

cruzelya · 36-40, F

@bhatjc: about 10 minutes worth then floor exercise..light weights

@cruzenleticia: Sounds like a good routine. Do you do that alone or does some one else join in with you

cruzelya · 36-40, F

bhatjc · 46-50, M

@cruzenleticia: That is good to hear. Do you two ever go out for a jogg,Or is the running or walking just for the treadmill

cruzelya · 36-40, F

@bhatjc: we have run together some times esp in the fall when it cools down some..I was doing my serious running at near sea level then we all move to mile high city..it's a big difference

bhatjc · 46-50, M

@cruzenleticia: That does sound nice. Hope you can keep doing that for many years to come

to be honest Haven't entertained any thoughts about pushing myself I just want us both healthy which we are..heyy my hs medals and trophies have been all washed away and gone..our homes flooded in the NOLA area in 2005 from hurricanes that's why we live in CO now..I don't miss anything..my life back then is irrelevant nowadays

bhatjc · 46-50, M

Sorry to hear you lost all of your medals and trophies. At least you are alive mrs. How is it now living in CO now.

@bhatjc: just talking about my races back then makes it all seem like yesterday..running is something I could get back into on a Ltd basis..there are miles of running tracks all over around here..thanx for bringing back all those memories..

bhatjc · 46-50, M

@cruzenleticia: I'm glad i could help bring back some old memories. I used to like running to. When i was high school. But my campus was large and you had to run to get across it. But i do like biking. But live in area that has to many hills,and not real flat area.

cruzelya · 36-40, F

those who have and those who haven't yet cracked up

bhatjc · 46-50, M
