The first hitch in my running plan.  It came so early, but I think I'll be able to overcome it since I have so many accountability partners.  You will hold me accountable, right?

 Well, the truth is that I wasn't running today, anyway, but I was supposed to "Walk for 2 miles with Hubby on a trail."  It counts as miles if it's on my running plan.  Things didn't work out that way, though.  I ended up having to work until 5:00 and Paul scheduled a run/workout with Cody and Logan, so I just decided to call it and actually get some housework done today.  Yes, this is my life.

On a related note, I've been talking about my running so much at work that I've inspired my co-worker Brian to start running again.  His dad has done SGM ten times and he's planning on doing it next year.  I told him he needs to join the blog.  If he does that's at least one direct recruit.  Sasha, do we earn commissions for that?

First, have to say thanks for being so nice! I just start feeling like a nerd or being a little discourage and there you are, a nice comment.

Next, hope you enjoyed your last day of "sleeping in." You start at 7 am tomorrow dont you? Bummer.

Your "hitch" wasnt so bad. Ditching "walking. Plus you are still stuck running with my thursday!!! You cant get out of that. What is on your plan for tomorrow? Good luck!

Sasha can start giving people commissions for recruits when I get a fence...he's been promising me one since we moved in.

I really think it's awesome you are blogging....and recruiting too..Sounds like you are having fun with running partners. Crumpybl on the blog(who abandoned me when she moved to Iowa) was my first training partner ever. She was a wonderful sparkly addition to every day and I loved getting up to run with her.

Wow, Cody just pointed out my less than perfect grammar. Sorry. Typing to fast and watching TV at the same time...I confess to multi tasking my entertainment.

Nothing like fighting over grammar. Dual laptop action tonight..watchout!

I can't believe you missed a day in your training program! Okay, that was me holding you accountable ;) But missing days happens to those of us who aren't trying to qualify for the Olympic trials! Plus you can blame it on Paul since he was supposed to go with you. After all the support you've given him...
