A Fresh Start

May marks a fresh start for me in several ways. First of all, I am returning to running with a different attitude, as well as with a rested pair of legs who are ready to feel toned again! Perhaps even more life-altering, though, has been my move 3000 miles from where I have spent the last 18 years. After living in South Carolina since 1987 (I was only eight when my family moved there - yikes!), I am graduating from medical school in Charleston, and will be starting my neurology residency training at the University of Washington Medical Center/Harborview/VA Puget Sound facilities in Seattle, WA. My husband and I have already relocated here, and while I have heard mixed accounts of Seattle winters, I have to say that the springtime truly is delightful. The first week in May I will be running indoors on a treadmill to better gauge that I am not running more quickly than desired, but the second week I will be moving my routines to the streets on the city.
Welcome to my fresh start!

Friday, May 6 - Monday, May 9:
I have been sick with an upper respiratory infection. That, combined with my desire to return to running very slowly, have persuaded me to take a long weekend off. Will work out tomorrow.
Evan and I did walk around Snoqualmie, WA on Sunday, May 8th. Quite a beautiful area!
