Waiting, waiting, waiting ...

There are so many things in limbo right now and all I can do is wait. This is one of the toughest things for me to do ... not doing. So I am looking for other things to occupy my time and my thoughts. I have done more reading in the last few months than I have in the last 10 years and yet my stack of "next to be read" books seems to be getting taller rather than shorter. I have been walking about 5 miles per day with a short stop for either a light lunch or just coffee and some time on my laptop. I always carry my backpack which has my laptop and my camera and other miscellaneous items that I think I might need for the days outing.
I have done some short "sprints" to see how my legs and lungs respond to the idea of being pushed a bit just in case I decide to take on the Shamrock Run again this March. So far, my entheusiasm is underwhelming. Running is not way up there on my list of favorite things to do but I know that I should do it for my health. There's only about 6 more weeks until St. Patrick's Day. A decision must be made.
