    I use the training log on Runner's World. For those of you who are obsessed with numbers and love to keep score, it is a great tool. View my training log at:

    Princess, I always think that the hardest part is getting out the door. The rest kind of takes care of itself. Put on those running shoes and promise yourself to go to the end of the block and if you still do not feel like running, come back home and know you tried. I bet if you get out the door, you will not stop at the end of the block. Good luck and good running!!

    Excellent advice and so true for me. There have been many days that I just did not want to go. One day I was having one of those days as I slowly jogged past one of my neighbor's sitting out on her patio. My neighbor is obese and has serious health problems. As I walked past she said "Good for you. I wish I could run. My health is so bad I can't even walk. Enjoy your run." I enjoyed my run that day and I think about her and how fortunate I am that I can run when I am in the just don't want to do it mood.

    Thank you both so much!!! I posted that and since we live on a long road, about 1/4 mile to the end and back. So I ran for 20 minutes! Yey me! I figured since I have biking also, and swimming...I could take an easier night and just not stress over going for 500 + calories. Whewh! Felt good though!

    Thanks for the tortoise push!

    I know it's late, but I just got in and I had to post! I asked a few days ago about the couch to 5k, and I started week 1 day 1 today. The kids are away at grandma's, so the hubby and I ran it together. We judged by the distance more than the times, and we were gone for about 30 minutes and logged in just over a mile. The neighborhood is a little hilly, so I was fairly slow getting up the hills. We sprinted the last stretch to the house, and coming downhill we bypassed our house and ran up to the neighbor's before turning to walk back. It felt great!
