Love the blog site and we were so happy to have you join your TNT extended family for a training. You are most welcome anytime you are in town and once you move into the neighborhood!

On a seperate note: get crackin’ on that letter campaign mister – remember, “early bird get’s the worm” so get writing, addressing, stuffing, sealing those envelopes and start increasing awareness and making a difference, not only in your own life, but someone elses as well. Okay..I am done with my drill sergeant moment!

I have every confidence in you….you CAN do this! You are slowly transforming into an athlete, a runner, and soon a marathoner and hero!

Let me know if there is anything we can help you with!

GO MARK! GO TEAM!

P.S. Major “kudos” to you for those “yard runs” – WOW! Now that is a commitment to the cause!

That estimate of 30 below must have been the “mind chill” factor at work, because when I checked the temp online before I left for the run, it was in the high 40′s, and by the time we started, I’m guessing it was more like 50. I used to think 50 was cold, and I still do if I’m just standing around, but I’ve come to think of it as about the perfect running temperature, because if it’s 50, running warms me up enough to be very comfortable in just shorts and a t-shirt, but it’s cool enough to keep the sun and heat from ever feeling uncomfortable later in the run. I’m still a wuss when it comes to cold, but I trust the warming effects of running enough now that if I had a choice between running when its 50˚, or running when it’s 70˚, I’d take 50˚ every time. If I’m not running, I’ll take 70˚, thank you.
