Another 3.3 miles before work this morning. 5 AM running is feeling good again.

Running for TJ because he can't.

Jack, yes I am keeping my favorite water bottle filled up and nearby.

Traci, nice running. Don't worry about your pace. Sometimes I feel like I am embarrassingly slow. But I am working really hard and improving. I know you are too; that's what's important!

Hope, are you going to try to get back in shape to run? or have you written off running completely?

At this point I couldn't care less about running (though maybe someday ...), I'm just looking to get enough help to walk without feeling knives in my knees. I've managed on my own to get them from humongous carving knives down to Swiss Army Knives, but I'd like them to be gone altogether. Hoping a good PT can give me exercises to add to my routine, to get me from "better" to "good".

When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

I AM embarrassingly slow, lol. But you know what....these days I don't care! After 31 years (will be 32 in April) of running I'm in my 'twilight years' of running now after doing all the races/high mileage weeks/speedwork/intervals/hills/training thing during my younger days. I am having fun and thoroughly enjoying myself. Not that I didn't have fun back then, either, but this is a different 'more relaxed' less-work-at-running type of fun, and I'm loving every mile of it. Yes, I have become the Ultimate Fun Runner in my old age, lol. I only have two goals these days....finish everything I start and have fun along the way...and if it happens to take me 3 hours to do a 5K or 10K....so what?

Ha, you are too modest...I saw that AG award you did last weekend! Smile
