A new chapter of running

         A new chapter in my running journey, the chapter of no running. Well, I AM running but it's currently taking a back seat to other exercises. I've been exploring swimming, the elliptical, walking, walking hills, even low-impact running. All exercises are under 138BPM and about 30-45 minutes long. Not having to satisfy an ever-hungry monster of more and more effort, more and more miles and stress is a new feeling and one I really am beginning to like and more importantly, trust. I trust that this time of 'dormancy', if you will, WILL lead to a better, stronger runner in the future, leading up to my second Marine Corps Marathon in October.
