Running lessons

Now that I am back from Raleigh, I have to start taking my running seriously. Here are some lessons I quickly learned:

• Taking five months off from running is bad
• Returning to sea level from 7400 feet is good. Yeah oxygen!
  
• Worn out joints and tight muscles and tendons don't seem to care about being at sea level. That's bad.
• Putting on seven pounds during the winter is bad.
• Pollen floating everywhere and coating your lungs as you gasp for air is bad.

So, looks like the "bads" have it so far.
