I'm Running!
Like a New York pedestrian trying to dodge a line of crazy shoppers at a Macy's sale. I'm running again, this time seriously.

- Setting Goals: Over the next 4 weeks my goal is to work up my running time so that I can reach over an hour in the morning, I'm already up to 18 or so minutes in my first week.
