Well, my husband is just awesome, trying to make me feel better. He is cute. He put together a list of things that I can do to get points (I know, very elementary school, but it somehow cheered me up). Once I get 25 points, he'll get me a price (a book or pj bottoms). Anyhow, this morning I did 50 crunchies... earning me 1 point. And it didn't hurt my leg.

Is it bad that I need a rewards system?

No, it's not bad. There's nothing wrong with a little extra motivation; I mean, you might as well get what you can out of the situation, right?

Funny Camille!

Teena - thanks!

when I started running in July, we did the same thing. I just needed the extra something to keep me going after week one or two when people who normally don't run give up. For running, I got 1 point for every 1/4 mile (which was far for me at the time) and biking - 1 point every 1/2 mile. After 100 points, I could cash it in for a book, and 400 points would give me a massage. But after I got over that hump, I never claimed my prizes (okay, I finally claimed my message, hello, I'm not stupid). I just enjoyed running
