On the run

Lately I have developed this urge to run instead of walk. I have never been especially fond of running around the block in gym classes way back when and it was not until recently that I wanted to try running so today on my walk I tried running a few times. My biggest concern is that people will see me running and laugh at the way I run. John tells me there is no wrong way to run as long as it feels good. I guess I was doing it right because it did indeed feel good. I only ran a few times on my four mile walk. I ran a block or two at a time in between walking. My ipod certainly did not help my speed today though. I chose the "I"section to begin with for my walk. I have never heard so many slow, sad songs about break ups and lost loves. Next time I will not be using that section. I have a hard time changing it during the walk because the sun is too bright to see what I am doing on the screen so I just put up with it. Finally we got to Kokomo in the K's and Herman's Hermits, Leaning on the Lamp in the L section. While running, I shook my fist at a few Obama signs. I am not very political but I do not like where he wants to take this country, but that is another story. Running seems to give me that power, I don't think I would shake my fist at signs if I were just walking!
