What a great fall day!! I woke up this morning, did the breakfast thing for the family (a weekday first!!), washed the dishes, made a card and headed off to work. I couldn't believe the dark fall day that I faced on my way to work, but through the day I became more and more inspired to go for a post-work run! I came home, changed clothes and went for a 4.2 mile walk/run. My latest thing is walk a song, run a song, walk a song, and so on. I happened to hit a "run" song on a HUGE hill. It was really my first real hill run! I made it to the top, thought I might just die, recovered and did it again! After the next longer, but not-so-steep hill I will feeling pretty good, so I did one recover song and then ran for the next 5 songs or so!! It felt GREAT!! NEVER did I expect that one day I would love to run, but that day is here and I feel STRONG!! And may the endorphins floating through my body kick the booty of any virus that tries to attack! And now as I write this, it is DUMPING BUCKETS OF RAIN outside! Glad I got my run in before this!
The rain pouring off of the roof because of a clogged gutter!

wow i can feel your high! i aspire to get to this point with running someday...=)
Take care of your knees, girl...so happy for you that you're able to do this now...with my 13 years on you (not quite your mom yet! =D) my knees give me grief...so I'm only walking and not nearly has much as I'd love to). Keep up the good work though and enjoy while you can.
