May Sunshine

It feels like the weather here has finally turned. We've started all our summer rituals - time in the backyard, weekends at the gliding field, and BBQ's as often as possible. I'm looking forward to the opportunity of running outside when I can. I do actually enjoy running on the treadmill though. I can listen to music, think about "whatever", and not worry about anyone seeing me run. (I'm self-conscious about my speed, and my "fashion statements")

Things are going well. I've now dropped over 20 pounds from when I started. I wouldn't exactly say I enjoy running, but I really enjoy the satisfaction of putting in the miles. It seems easier now too. I have been doing some 4 mile runs now, and they seem easier than a lot of the runs from when I first started. I'm not far enough into my training to forget how hard it was at the beginning. It really does get easier.

Enjoy the weather!
