I ran in an 8.2 mile race this weekend around a picturesque lake with the leaves starting to turn beautiful shades of red and orange and I really enjoyed it! I ran it in 1:19:13, a 9:40/mile pace, which isn't too shabby for someone who only started running seriously 6 weeks ago! I can run faster now than when I was 21 years old in the US Air Force! I definitely don't feel bad about turning 40 in 3 weeks, seeing as I can now do things I couldn't do when I was 21. It was such a fun event and it really helped boost my confidence for the half-marathon in 3 weeks.
I also watched the documentary "Super Juice Me" this weekend and I really recommend it for anyone struggling with a chronic illness, or has a loved one with a chronic illness, which is pretty much everyone these days.
I haven't written much here in the last few days, and I came back to a serious backlog of journal entries from all of my buddies. You people have been BUSY! Keep up the outstanding work! Make this week extraordinary!
Ciao for now!

Go, Sweet! The run sounds lovely. I vaguely remember turning 40, youngster! LOL! My 40's were lovely. I wish you the same.

You paint a beautiful scene to imagine. I'm in the same boat as you, I turn 40 tomorrow. I don't believe I fell like I'll be 40, I'm in good shape for my age.

Thanks, everyone! It feels really amazing to accomplish a goal like training to run a half-marathon! I may not be the fastest runner out there, but when I think back to how heavy, sick and disabled I was a year ago, I can't help but beam with pride at how far I've come!

Wow, I ran my race in that same time; unfortunately mine was a 10K. I'm sure you've heard that white men can't jump; well, fat men can't run, but I'm working on it. Good for you. You'll kick that half's butt!

wow!! Good run. Congratulations on your journey!!! I understand about the difference a year can make. I'm no longer living on daily pain meds. As a whole mere energy, little pain, occasional headache but not 2-3 or 4 a week. No knee replacement looming in the near future. Shouldn't run much due to old injuries leg/knee and ankles but doing lots of other things.

Great run, and 40 is a wonderful age to get healthy!
