This morning I was all pumped about my run and my iPod was not charged. Instead if pouting about it. I decided to run as much as I can for as long as I can with OUT music. I ran for about 95% of 2.2 miles. I only stopped twice for about 45 seconds. I was so proud of myself Running without musics and with minimal breaks.

Keep up the good work everyone!

We are currently doing it every other weekend.

Someday when I get to be a 'real' athlete, I wanna keep up with BillOh and his wife...kudos to her!

PS. I've inspired one of my skinny and 10 years younger friends to start running. We are running our first 5 k together this weekend. I intend on parking near the finish line and getting a lawn chair and beer (lite of course) and be waiting at the finish line for him.
