Re: A New Me

Hello my running buddies!! This really is such great motivation for me and I really appreciate your support.

Re: A New Me

Mike! Thanks for posting. Loving the support. However. I just finished week 3 run 2. Nearly killed me. Found it such a struggle. Even my ears are sore. Huffed and puffed the whole way!! This is where I could just give up. Was so close to turning back out there today!!
