Today I started a new routine.  At the encouragement of our lead pastor, I started running.  For those of you who know me, this probably seems like a stretch.  I know it is for me and one of the reasons I’m mentioning it is for accountability.  Not only am I running, but I’m going to try to eat better.  I’ve got to get a baseline weight, but I’ll start today by recording the miles run/walked to at the top of the right hand side.

Today, we ran/walked 1 mile — four times around the track.  Over half of that was running.  I feel pretty good — there are a few muscles complaining, but no pain, no gain.  As the Marines say, pain is just weakness leaving the body.
