Badgerdaddy is a Good Influence

Assuming, that is, that running is some sort of Good Thing, which I have yet to be entirely convinced of.  As I mentioned on the other blog, I ran down the drive on Friday morning, because I was late.  Today, quite voluntarily and simply for the hell of it, I ran home down the drive.  That is, it was a gentle canter rather than a gallop.  I'm terribly out of condition.  Quite shocking that I can't possibly run more than 100 yards, and even that leaves me wheezing.

I have no aim or ambition in the running stakes.  Just that, having walked slower and slower over the past year or two, it's really quite exciting to move a bit faster under my own steam.  And I seem to make quite a bit of it.
