I had one of those moments this morning after dropping my wife off to work of not wanting to run.  I overcame this. Today's run seemed better.  I didn't stop at all.  When I stopped running I started walking. (about 15 times) The distance was 1.56 with...

It certainly has been a long time since I last posted.  Unfortunately running went by the wayside.   Current position:  I have not lost any weight and in fact have put 2lbs on.  I need to get this sorted.   I have been running for the last three morning...

Getting Closer to Running

27 Jan 2013, 6:43 p.m.

Tuesday is getting closer and to be honest I am really looking forward to it. My running gear is arriving tomorrow.  It should have arrived on Saturday but was delayed due to the snow.  I spent 45 minutes clearing now on Saturday so I am counting this a...

Why Am I Doing This?
