    @Southpaw1958 welcome and congratulations on your amazing transformation. Great goal and you are right on target.

    @Orphia you always have such nice pictures, but this one is really gorgeous and sweet. Love they are all looking at the camera :)

    Sorry for those who are feeling sick and/or sore. Rest up today!

    Please share any tips you learn while conquering those hills. I need to work on that aspect of my running.

    Doing well so far for the month.

    Another lovely run this morning.

    My schedule for the past month or two has been 4 runs per week. Seems to be the right combination of running/resting, and I've been getting faster and with lower heart rate.

    Saw this today:

    Sheep and Alpacas. My 2 favorite. I love spinning, knitting and crocheting so I love seeing the animals that are my favs to use. Great pic as always @orphia.

    @orphia I'm laughing too hard at how they are all looking at you.
    @JessicaMcB dirty the girls aren't feeling well Congrats on the starting spot
    @sarahthes hope the back feels better soon
    @cburke8909 sorry you are still sick
    @ddmom0811 I wonder why that is you would think you'd be faster knowing you're on a time schedule.
    @southpaw1958 amazing congratulations!
    @HRKinchen just remember how important rest days are.
