THROWBACK THURSDAY

This is an over 3 decade 'throwback'.  While looking thru a box of my mother's old photos I found this clipping she saved.  Back in the day when I was younger, bones stronger and joints more flexible I was a runner.  

When there was an upcoming race I'd train after work and in the morning during weekends.  It was important to keep up the endurance of the lungs and mobility of the legs and joints.  Am proud to say that I won several trophies and gifts for my efforts.  Again, the emphasis is 'back in the day'.  Here is that article recently found.

The year I turned 50 I ran my last 10K race (6.2 miles).  Tho I ran shorter races after that sadly I stopped running all together.  Now wish I'd  kept up with mild training just to keep my muscles and limbs active.  Just the thought of running now makes me hurt all over.  But then I'm decades older than in that photo above.  
  
Now I find satisfaction and comfort in sitting and hooking rugs.  But I DO WALK ~ not as much walking as when there was a fur companion in the home but still do walk to stay active.

So its not such a boring post thought I'd add another 'throwback Thursday' addition by this TRUE CONFESSIONS from last year's February Throwback Thursday.  Just click on the hyperlink above.
