Thank you for the kind words in your comment. I am new to running, but it is something that occupies not only my time, but my mind! I am looking forward to meeting new people on this site. And I will probably bug you with questions! Thank you so much for the encouraging words!

From walter on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 09:34:28

Jennifer, I know what you mean when you say it occupies your mind. Welcome to runners anonymous! Funny, but true. Good luck in your running.
