Running on Faith 
My impetus to start running (or something) was being on the cusp of turning 50 and wondering what was next in my life. I felt I had to do something to keep my body in shape. I have yet to reach the “studley” level like some runners I know, but I keep working towards the goal. I may reach it when I’m 80 and come in first in my age group in a 5k.
