(Run from Monday- I have yet to go today....)
I was slow to start today, but felt pretty good after running the first half mile. Loved the weather this am. Walked a half mile, then ran 1.5 miles, then walked another 1/4 mile. Beginning to think the 2 miles might really happen... Lol.. I have a couple friends asking already when I'm going to join them for a 5K. I'm thinking not until late next spring.
bet I'll do at least one, though.

On a totally different thought... I'm going to praise the virtues of my iPod for a minute or two. I'm not bad with technology- I get computers, I love my Blackberry, blah blah blah. I am, however, usually a little slow to come to the latest in technology- or even things that have been around awhile. We bought our first iPod last spring. Before that, I never really thought we needed one. We don't listen to music in the house much, and there were CDs for the car. Why did we need one of those expensive little music players anyway?
Well, since I've been "running", I've fallen in love with our iPod. All our favorite CDs in one place- that can fit in my pocket!!! Chris bought me a docking station today, since I've started carting around the iPod while I'm cleaning, folding laundry, etc. Woohoo!!! A vast legion of music right at my fingertips!!! No carting lugging around a CD wallet/book/suitcase, no more flipping thru discs, no more skips from those inevitable scratches. We've even started just buying the music downloads from Amazon. No more discs at all!!!! In short, I love it.

I didn't end up running today. first day I've missed totally in 7 weeks. But, by God, sometimes you just run (ha ha) out of time.......
