Saturday was another milestone in training.  Finally a warm day to run for the sat am training run.  I have been moving up very, very slowly in my mileage, on a pace all my own.  Sat our choice was 10 or 12 miles but I knew that I could not do either of those distances.  I found a group "willing" to go less and at my slow walk/jog 12-13 min pace and we took off.  We did 8 miles and I could not believe it.  Never in my life would I have guessed I could have done that.  I was slowed down by a sore knee at the end and have got to figure out which shoes work for me.  Overall, I feel ahead of the game on my way to complete a half-marathon at the end of March.  As for my goal of better health and fitness I still need better consistency throughout the week.
