First I want to say Thanks again for the wonderful award you gave me, you're too sweet!<br />Then I want to say WAY TO GO GIRL! for dropping those extra pounds and getting back to your running. It seems as we age and as we concentrate on art, we allow the physical activity to slack off until we realize that our jeans don't fit anymore!I too have let exercise drop to the bottom of my list of things to do over the past year or so and just decided 2 weeks ago that I need to do something. So I went for a walk and then started to run. I felt so much better (albeit with some aches and pains). So now I've started to increase my running spurts while out walking and I am running a little further each day.<br />In just 2 weeks, my jeans feel a little looser and I feel better.<br />I was never a runner but at 52 I feel lucky that I can just DO IT!<br />Not sure if I'll ever be a full fledge runner like you but just knowing that I can go for shot distances is a huge step. So kudos to you and keep it up!<br />By the way, LOVE your artwork on this post.<br />hugs,<br />cathyCathy Spivey Mendolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353775388613836052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131517502138883432.post-43060106012093020162009-08-10T16:33:42.600-04:002009-08-10T16:33:42.600-04:00That's marvelous!!!!!!!!!!

I started when I was 30 and have been doing it for nearly 2 years and and it's just so good to get the blood pumping I always feel better after a run. Sometimes it's hard to get my bum into gear and get on the treadmill especially at the moment as it winter here and all I really want to do is laze around on my cosy couch!!!! You are an inspiration!!! Well done!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077749964397488191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131517502138883432.post-9406354894879968722009-08-09T17:58:59.509-04:002009-08-09T17:58:59.509-04:00This is a great energetic piece. it just shows you...This is a great energetic piece. it just shows your happiness you've found going back to your healthy and active life, well done to you! and those words are brilliant too- v. inspirational :-)Annette Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170749707426910249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131517502138883432.post-70457211684034963812009-08-09T13:01:15.277-04:002009-08-09T13:01:15.277-04:00Way to go!

I quit smoking one year ago and have definitely replaced my cigarettes with food big time. I have been feeling so uncomfortable with my weight and the stresses it adds to my body. I know I need to grab hold of it and start really taking care of myself. Quitting smoking was one of the hardest thing ever, but I did that so I know I have it in me to do this too. Gathering the strength and waiting for that moment...when you feel like it is no longer a burden but a necessity and a blessing.<br />Keep running, Beautiful One ! I am so glad you gave yourself this gift !!!!Kim Mailhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849980369873306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131517502138883432.post-21113738037143282672009-08-08T21:11:36.550-04:002009-08-08T21:11:36.550-04:00You go girl....Love your art.
