Setting Intentions

March 2021 Slice of Life challenge

Once a blogger

I had kept a blog in the distant past called Found Myself Running.  When I no longer “found myself running” my blog fizzled away into the depths of the internet.  Unfortunately, I found myself injured and under the knife instead.  3 surgeries in 3 years to be exact. It’s been over three years since my last run.  It was my mom’s birthday on December 27, 2017 when I went out for what was at the time a short 6 mile run.  After that run I was toast. I didn’t know it at the time but severe hip and knee cartilage damage would need to be fixed.  “Surgified,” as I lovingly like to call it.

​So I find myself here blogging once again and in a strange yet coincidentally way I’ve just been cleared by my surgeon to ease back into running.  So that must give me clearance to begin blogging again too.  Well here I am anyhow embarking on both of these and maybe picking up where I left off 3 plus years ago.

A runner myself, I appreciate you linking your blogging to running. When life throws us for a loop, it effects all aspects of life. You so beautifully write, "Well here I am anyhow embarking on both of these and maybe picking up where I left off 3 plus years ago." I hope your transition to both is seamless. Welcome aboard!

Welcome to a community of diverse writers! I USED to be a jogger, long ago, but now I am happy to take long walks and save what is left of my knees! I look forward to seeing more of your return to running noticing here at the SOL>

I love reading slices of life that connect things I wouldn't have thought of connecting. Your post is making me think of all sorts of metaphors between running and writing.

Congratulations on your healing. What are you thinking about continuing with the running blog or something different?

I have never been much of a runner. I used to take my dog for long walks but she is now very old and mostly likes to stand with her nose in the air. I should make more time for proper walks. I hope you ease back into writing effortlessly.
