I took last year off.  I didn’t run at all.  Literally.  In fact I took up heavier drinking, gained almost 30 pounds at the worst and started to smoke again.  Considering I endured the Columbus Marathon in 2006 this was a complete opposite of what I was doing.

This past September we bought a treadmill.  A very nice treadmill.  I have signed up to run the flying pig half marathon in May.  I have to run.  I quit smoking cigarettes about 2 1/2 weeks ago and have lost almost 30 pounds since October.  I’m going to be cleaning up the site and making changes to it soon but I am running again.  That’s all that counts.
