About three months ago, I kinda stopped running.
My shin splints started acting up, the pain was just too much, and I had to take some time off.
My shin splints started acting up because I had just started walking quite a bit: to the bus stop and back twice a day.
I started walking to the bus stop and back twice a day because I got a job.

Around the same time, I stopped blogging.
I stopped blogging because I got the job and was too tired from walking to the bus stop and back twice a day to muster the energy to do any writing.
Recently, I felt it was time to start running again. I thought to myself: 'three months? pshh. No biggy. 5k is my minimum run. I can't not do 5k.'
Well, let me tell you. I can 'not do 5k.'

I figured I should maybe start blogging again. Since I do want to make a living with my writing, this is probably a good idea, no?
While not as physically painful as attempting a 5k run after 3 months of no running, it is similarly difficult to take that first step back into the habit.
All that to say, I'm working back up to where I want to be.
Also, if you know of any writing-ish jobs, please let me know. If I haven't made it obvious, I don't have that non-running, non-blogging job anymore.
