I think I have come to the conclusion that if I wait for inspiration, it doesn't ever come. Instead I decided this morning to force it by telling myself that I can't leave the computer until I write something about that silly race. Yes- that's very clever of me I think. Prisoner myself in front of the computer. Like I need a lock and key for

Well done! The 55,000 people would scare me more than the 10k run. And actually continuing with training without getting distracted and only thinking of it years later. Nice work.

As one couch loving slob turned runner to another, how do you put your foot down when you run? I'm wondering if my whiny knees are objecting to being thrown at the ground each step and I should try to run/jog more softly. The knees do like it but it will take more training to be able to keep it up for longer. Or am I just crazy? It's hard to tell when I'm up late.

I really like the idea of running as meditation. Generally my thoughts are along the lines of "Can I go home now? Are we there yet? This would be much easier without the hills. Are we there yet?" but I have hopes.

The bathroom looks like Laura Ashley came in and decorated it herself! Honestly, I like it :) It's something that my daughter would want.
Keep it up. Maybe one day I'll see you on tv in the Boston or NY Marathon.

What a feat! Exercise really IS addictive, isn't it!? (I would have gagged while saying that 10 years ago...) Congrats.

Body Plex is sponsoring a 5K and 10K in Suwanee on Sept 13. There is a bunch of family activities etc. Looks like fun. For other people, I mean.
