With that in mind, I'm perplexed as to why I haven't gained weight since the summer. In fact, I've actually lost weight even though I seem to devour every potato chip and cookie in the house. How is that? Is my energy used teaching supplementing all the running I did during the summer? If I started running, would I lose even more weight?
I hope that I can get out on the roads again so that the stress/"teaching" is not what is keeping me at a workable weight. I just have to do it and get out on the roads. It almost seems foreign to me though. Has anyone ever felt that way about it? Running is such a huge part of my life, but I almost feel lost.
Wow! Didn't know that the Track Coach was in my class. I love the sport and have attended, too many to count, events. My son, Billy Spierdowis, ran cross-country, winter and spring track for 5 years at FHS. (8th grade was housed at the high school when he was here, therefore he could be on the team.) He graduated in 1998 and then went on to Duke where he ran, all 3 seasons for 4 years. My husband and I went to many events at Duke, the Penn Relays, etc. Lots of fun. He's married now, has 3 kids and his 6 and 3 and 1/2 year old have already run mile races. I guess, "Once a runner, or a fan of running, always a runner." Another note of interest: I had a couple of the girls that were on your 6th place relay team in my before school track club when I taught at IGO!
