Out for a Birthday

The past few days it's been cold and raining. Today it was much nicer, plus it was also my birthday. I did my normal 4-mile routine, which means I actually ran 3.5 miles. My side is feeling much better, with almost no noticeable pain or twinges during the day or even at night when I turn over. That's a great improvement over even a month ago. I'm hopeful that this gradual return to activity will pay off. Some people would say that it sucks to get old, but my goal is to be active for many years to come.
