Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
7.00	0.00	7.00

Today was hard to get out. It seems that like by Thursday the week catches up with you and everything is harder. I want to know why when I left the house, I started with a side ache that lasted the entire time. What is up with that? Paula's dog had enough. He was excited until he saw me coming down the street and then stopped and would not go any further. He went home. We continued and did 5 miles together. The fitness center trails are icy but it was good. I added 2 more on at the end to get to 7 for the day. This is because of the blog! I used to just rationalize why I would not meet my goals and the forget, but now because I have to see it in black and white,. I am much more disciplined. THANKS!

Happy Running!

This blog is great for the added push that some of us need, even if it's only for me to see it sure does seem to help when I look at the weeks total or add in the days miles to go a little more!! Especially when I see that people like you are really pushing themselves!!! Good Job on such a cold morning!!!

Wow! You are doing great. I feel like such a slacker when it seems everyone else is getting out there and braving much worse weather than I have to deal with in STG. Good job!
