Wish I Could Run

Do you ever wish you could do something again that used to be easy but no longer is?

When I was in junior high I was a runner. By high school I wasn't running for school but would run for just me. As I got older I stopped running.

Sometimes I just want to run. I want to run like we did as children when we didn't get tired or notice the distance we traveled. I remember the feeling of the pavement under my shoes and the breeze in my hair drying the sweat on those hot days.

Now my weight literally weighs me down. My knees can't take the stress of running with my addition weight. I know that with time and weight loss I can run again. I can train by body to achieve what I want, but sometimes, well

I just want to run.
