    To everyone who made their goal, congrats and great work! If you didn't make goal, don't be discouraged, just put your nose to the grindstone and start February with a clean slate!
  • Day 22 of 20, done.

    Day 3 of NHS Couch-to-5k, 2.1 miles, 30 min.; dogs walk, 1.5 miles, 30 min.

    Dogs walk . . more like a dogs sniff. Ha!

    Congrats to everyone who reached their goal. To those who didn't . . . you still made the effort and that counts!

    New month, new goals, new opportunities to improve. Let's do it.
