Running on empty. Running wild.

Last week I made a decision to go back to the Running Room for their Wednesday Run Club. I haven't been out running for a while and I'm glad I did it. I've been off my game for the past couple of months for reasons I won't discuss here, and it hasn't been a pleasant experience. Going out on a 10k run helped me regain some of my focus. It made me feel more...centered. It even helped loosen up the my left trapezius muscle, where I had pinched a nerve in an all day volleyball tournament the week before. Apparently, it's caused by all of the looking up you do while on the court.

I went out running again Tuesday evening and last night, and it's definitely having a positive effect on my outlook. Since I'm a single man again, the running will also help keep me svelte and sexy. I need to keep my competitive edge in this fierce jungle called the dating game. I'd love to stay and chat, but I've gotta run. RR out.
