Up & Running
I really want to get back into running again. I miss the running routes I had in Boston and all the miles I used to do. I ran this morning in the heavy rain, then went and bought a new pair of running shoes and got a new battery for my heart-rate monitor. If I hadn’t had the debilitating knee problem last year I’m sure I would have been running more regularly than I have been doing, but there’s just not the great options for running routes straight from my home here in Portland as there was back in Cambridge. I have one park I can run to which is excellent and is a workout because of the hills, but that’s all there is around here. There’s great running trails across town but I have to drive to get to them which I don’t like doing. Now I have an opportunity to do the Copenhagen marathon next May. It would be nice to do but I’m starting from essentially a zero base. It can be done with dedication and a lot miles, just not sure if it’s the best thing to do. Hmmm…

hey tommy,
its been too long since we saw you, but alas life does tend to get away from us. i must say that i am going to be very envious if you get to go to copenhagen next spring. i have several relatives and friends in denmark that i haven’t seen since 1992. i wish i could join you but that would mean running and you know i don’t do that!
take care of yourself and stay in touch.
