Wonderful run to end 2006!

A wonderful 5.4 mile run this morning despite a downpour. I am so.....o glad I ran! One of my running group called last night and asked if anyone was running this morning. I ended up deciding to run with her. It was a downpour, but a warm 41 degrees. She was still up for it and it was a wonderful run! Started the day out right. I learned that running in the rain isn't so bad and somewhat enjoyable! It makes you feel like such a "runner". DH laughed when I told him that.

So I ended 2006 with 1,276 miles and a wonderful and inspiring run! It makes me excited for 2007! Can't beat that!

I am down 3 lbs from my high weight, so I am also happy about that. The first day of "getting back on track" was hard, but each day gets easier.

Useful Links: Speaking of running partners. We have loosely organized group of dedicated runners. Every week e-mails would fly back and forth about who wanted to run and when. It all got very confusing. I found the free Doodle website where you can create surveys which people can fill out on-line. So for our morning running group, I e-mail a link to the next week's poll and runners can fill out their name and the mornings that they plan on running. They can then check it throughout the week to make sure someone else is running when they want to. It has really reduced the e-mail confusion!

Another site that lets you create much more elaborate surveys is Stellarsurvey. On this one you can have multiple choice answers, comment blocks etc and it analyzes the data for you.
