Here between the rivers, we do just fine on hills, thank you. FWIW, I did nine miles today, and struggled to break 8:30. I have no idea why. Glad to hear the canine, if nothing else, is constant.

Then, I strained my Achilles' doing calf raises in the gym. It only bothered me when I ran. So I didn't run. And I haven't run in about a month, long after this minor injury healed. Why? Because of laziness, the fact that I walk Speck for an hour each day, that I can't run with him on a leash because he's a spastic dummy, and that I can't rationalize not running after the aformentioned walking. Also, your land was crushed flat by a glacier in time immemorial. Here, there are steep hills. There is no solution. Here’s my story: I was back into running for about two weeks.

I need a running partner, but I am so slow right now. It's terrible. Bradley, honestly, I have fallen off the wagon. I need a running partner, but I am so slow right now. It’s terrible.

But most of the credit goes to partnering. That's the best thing: get someone to work out with, and you make each other show up and do it. And it's more fun (and safer) to have a conversation with someone while running than to go it alone. I am proud to be inspirational! But most of the credit goes to partnering.

I slept in a tent that so i know first hand. I never could have been motivated to get out of a warm bed to go outside esspecially to RUN!! except I was in a cold bed.. outside.. in a tent and it was awful. You have motivated me to go to the rec more. Everytime I sit down to do my homework I am reminded that there are people out there who actually do exercise and I should probably be one of them.

It's a cool program, even if you aren't doing a marathon. Mixing up the pace and type of run I've been doing has been nice, and making the extra effort to run on the track is also worth it.
