7 years!

7 years ago I started running.

7 years ago I smoked 1 - 2 packs of cigarettes a day, and had for 15 years...I quit just after I started running.

7 years ago I married a wonderful supportive husband that encourages every minute I spend running.

7 years ago I ran my first 5k (and I just got a PR this weekend, a small one, but a PR and dammit I will take it!).

7 is good.

Happy runniversary to me!

Happy Runniversary! (and I love that term!) Now get out there and run to a gas station to buy a lotto ticket with lots of 7's on it...

I don't half-ass anything
