May 1: Marathon Man

Way back in January, I blogged about the treadmill in which my wife and I decided to invest as part of our New Year's resolution to get and stay fit. Well, over the months that have passed, I've been on and off a regular conditioning program. That's why I'm so proud of the feat I accomplished today, although all of you "experienced" runners will likely just chuckle. You see, my accomplishment is not record-setting, nor is it even something any normally active person who maintains anything resembling a regular fitness program would drop their jaw after hearing. But, still, I'm proud. Today, I completed 2 miles on the treadmill in 28 minutes. I know, I know, that's a 14 minute mile, which is probably 6-8 minutes more than the average time, but for me it was something! My next goal, get it down to 20 minutes for 2 miles. Maybe I'll be writing about that in another 4 months.
