Day 6 – 5 miles – Pretty good run. I think breakfast helped (Thanks again Bobby) I can’t quite say I enjoyed the run, but I didn’t exactly hate it. That is real progress.

Over Coming Negative
As you might be able infer from my other posts. I have dwelt on my hate for running. These negative thoughts, although humorous, could spell the end for me. It is easy for discouragement to set in.

Why do I call myself old?
Why do I call myself old you ask? I know many people that are older than me, that are more active, in better shape, and much more alert than I am. Old has nothing to do with age. It seems that those people understand the sentiment of Henry David Thoreau: “I went into the woods… Continue reading Why do I call myself old?
