Snowman,

Funny you should mention running IN the road.  Long before I started running, there's a guy we affectiionately called "Running Man" who would run by my house 3-4 times/week.  I live in a rural area but he would always run right on the yellow line and shift to the opposite side of the road when cars were coming.  I used to think he was nuts.  He wasn't a fast runner so he would almost look like he was staggering from one side of the line to the other.  Now I understand why he does it.

Good luck on Sunday and show the dogs that  YOU are the Top Dog!  Larry

AWESOME job Melmack!~  Congrats on beating your goal.  I hope you are feeling better.

Bravo, Melmack, it is a great feeling to achieve a goal. Sorry about the headache.

I just signed up for what will be my third 5K. I have finally gotten my wife and son to sign up with me so we can do this together. I hope this turns into a great family fitness thing. I have 4 daughters as well, but they are all grown and gone. One is in my profile picture. That is from my oldest daughters wedding reception. I miss my girls, but I am looking forward to doing things like this with my son, who is more athletic.

Anyway, I enjoy hearing how everyone is doing. It seems like a lot of people are achieving goals, and building confidence. I think that is all really good. I know I am feeling good about myself at this point. So please keep posting. This is really enjoyable.
