Starting My Fourth Month at YMCA Downtown.

I returned to the YMCA on November 1, 2018 after a 12-year-long hiatus. I had three years of steady walking under my belt, so to speak, and a desire to add more running miles to my fun and fitness schedule.

As I start my fourth month at the Y, I can say that I am now a regular runner, and developing a slow and steady-like style within my limits. I run 4 - 6 times per week on a treadmill, generally in the 2 - 4 mile range. I also regularly cover additional miles by walking to the Y and warming up on an exercise bike for 30 - 40 minutes before my short run.

Svelteness is within my reach.... in my lifetime.
