I think I need you to run next to me and tell me to quit my cryin'

Sigh. I miss running so, so much. I was a regular runner in my early 20s until I let life just get in the way. Two years ago (after almost 30 years of not running) I started the Couch to 5K program (C25K) and went from barely making it through 5 minutes of exercise to half walking/half running a 5k just a month later. A week later I started having weird weakness in my leg and arm that a year later they finally diagnosed as two disks in my neck pushing way into my spinal cord - after three docs said that there was no choice except surgery, stat, I had a two-level discectomy and fusion last January. It's probably not at all smart for me to consider running again, but I wish with all I have that I could go back to it.

A friend who started the C25K program with me finally tired of running 5ks, just ran her first two half-marathons, and is going to train for a marathon in the spring.

Sigh.
