Well, my retirement didn’t last long.

Yep, about a week ago, I stopped selling running shoes any our Running Room……at one point when I was the manager, the boss, I guess I called it my Running Room…..but, I still have the 3 run clubs to look after every week…..a couple of virtual clinics on the go more often than not…….my next two…a Learn to Run, and a 10K crew….lots of Zoom meets and emails…..and lots of running!

It was time……others needed the hours, and I was fine with giving that up…9 years, that was enough…

So?

I decided why not help out at events……so, yep, now I get to set up and take down the start/finish lines, map out and whatever else is needed a few weekends, or a lot of weekends…..apparently we’ve 50 events to go this year…..there are only 52 weekends in a year, and this is April?…….that’s going to be a lot of busy weekends…and a quick look means I’m doubled booked with races I want to do, and yeah, with run clubs and clinics….so this 64 year old guy is gonna be busy, possibly busyer?…..yikes..

I wasn’t going to run today…..every other day?…….but the weather was just so good, and what’s another 5K……my pace felt okay, yet for some reason my tights kept wanting to fall down….either I’m getting too fat or too thin?

You know what? Life is pretty good, not bad…not great……kind of happy where I am…..am not sure what the future holds…there’s a lot going on……dad still in the hospital, a handicapped daughter who’s a bit of a handful…and way too much yard work to look forward to this summer….and finances that arn’t fantastic, but, yeah, things are okay….

So, I got a new Job…..a went for a run….a good Friday
