4 weeks and still training

Hello all,

Today I reached the 3 mile mark in a run.  Actually, once I get past the first mile to mile and 1/2, running seems to get easier.  And to think, I was only running .7 of a mile and was completely worn out just 4 weeks ago.

I am just about 192 lbs, which will be down from 218 when I first started.  26 lbs.

I keep going.  I love the little motivational things that have come into my life.

Last weekend I was pumping gas at Fleet Farm.  There was a man there too, pumping gas.  He was a slow moving man using two canes.  While we were in line waiting to pay, we began to chit chat.  We had to wait because there was a cash register being switched.  We both paid and we were going out the door.  As you can imagine, with two cains, he was very slow.  I opened the door for him.  He said "I guess I won't be running any marathons...or even running again"  I smiled and said, "Yes, probably not".  Then he said "I sure wish I would have."

To him I tribute today's run.  I got to 3 miles for the guy at Fleet Farm, because he never did, and probably never will.
