Trophy wife! A badge of honor. How lucky you are, to have a trainer who is also your husband. Thanks for speaking up for the masses of ordinary, casual runners.

I identify completely with the notion of running (or doing any kind of exercise or self-improvement) every day. Then, when you miss a day, it feels like a crime against yourself. Don't break the chain, as Jerry Seinfeld said.

1) My trainer has (wisely) not offered advice since then! 2) I may be casual but I am not ordinary! 3) I'm glad you approve of my daily mandate.

Way to go, Catherine! It's such a thrill to "place." But the consistency of running, the getting out there (almost) NO MATTER WHAT is its ultimate beauty, I think. I started running at age 41, at first just around the block. There was lots of serious training and long distance races after that. Now, 25 years later, I "slog" (slow jog) with my dog, three miles six days a week. Also a thrill. Keep going!

Impressive, NTE! For me, "It's good for the dog" motivates me more than "It's good for me"!
