    Regarding the encouragement - I'm just one fat guy who has fallen in love with running. And C25K did it for me. I love to tell everyone I know . . . YOU, TOO, CAN ENJOY RUNNING! It's an AMAZING program that I think ANYONE (well, ALMOST anyone) can do. Like I said, I started with a BMI of 48 and barely able to walk. Now I'm down 75 pounds, and I often look forward to my runs. I want EVERYONE to enjoy this!!!

    My fun for the day. Had a Flying Trip to Edmonton today for work. First thing packed in my suitcase was Running gear and Swim gear. Snuck in an end of Day Run and Swim workout. Did the 5 km run Emily Murphy Park / River Valley Road Loop, from Kinsmen past Emily Murphy park to the Groat Rd Bridge, crossed over the River to River Valley Rd and back east to the LRT Bridge and crossed over the river on the LRT Bridge back to Kinsmen. Loved the South side thru the trees along the river on the Gravel bush trail. One of those great days that makes you want to find more sweet little bush trails to explore. Then I jumped in the pool ( 50m ) and attempted to swim 1000m. Ran out of power at 700m, no legs left. Felt like I was dragging bricks.
