Hello there.

Dorky husband + work stress = 3 beers & saltines. There, I said it. I ate it. Forgive me blogfather, for I have noshed. I ran 2 miles for penance (and they felt good!). I will go forth and eat only the healthy food which I have prepared for the day.

Lynne wrote a great post (see link on side.) I have included a portion here (but please go read her whole post) because the words she wrote are so universal. I have a friend in a wheelchair, and my thoughts are with him for a portion of every run I do. If I could sit in his chair for a time so he could run, I would gladly do so.

"I run because I am able. There are millions of people who do not have the use of their legs who would love to be able to run. Because I have the use of my legs, I should use them.

I run for all of the people who say, "Wow, I could never do that," including the fat chick I used to be. As long as one says "I could never," one never will.

I run because I figured out that the only thing stopping me from running was me.

I run because running has allowed me to visit places I never would have dreamed of previously.

I have more reasons, but I also have to run to a meeting. Excuse me now."

Thanks for the inspiration Lynne. I can't wait to run tomorrow!
