STOCKTON – The closest thing for me to making a New Year resolution was to actually do the 8th annual Resolution Run hosted by Fleet Feet.I was among those who gathered at Lincoln Center and braved the cold and chilly conditions of this New Year’s Eve event formerly known as the Pajama Run.But before I go forward let me backtrack.My change in lifestyle started back in June 2009 where I happened along a spin class that later segued into a variety fitness classes including Pilates and yoga. I was able to incorporate those elements into actually riding (road bike) and hiking.Variety is a spice of life.Riding and hiking eventually led me back to some running.This past summer, I met Karen Workman, who was a longtime runner not to mention a participant in one of Fleet Feet’s training programs (more on that), through a mutual friend. We eventually became riding partners and it was she who finally got me to run outside the comforts of a treadmill.Fitness is now part of my lifestyle.
