Run is done! It was only supposed to be a 2 mile day but I did 4 so I don't have to run on Saturday. My hips could use a break. I think I'm going to go see my husband's physical therapist and see if he has any suggestions.

A cool thing happened this morning. I got done with my run and was stretching out next the wall by the drinking fountain. This lady from the aerobics class with hand weights in her hands starts walking towards me.

I'm thinking the entire time, "Is she getting a drink? I have no idea who this person is, is she going to change course?"

She walks up to me and says, "You have no idea who I am. I've been watching you and you are here every morning. I can tell that you've lost weight and inches. Nice job!"

How nice is that? Thanks! I needed that today. I can't imagine telling someone that but you know - it made me feel so good. I'm thinking that I need to step out of my comfort zone and tell someone that I think they are doing great. It may be just what they need that day too.

Day 8 - Something extra -- Done. Crunches. Push up. Love it. I love the thought that hits me about 9:30 PM. "Do your extra!" I do it. I don't ignore. Again - thanks for the challenge.
