and thanks for the encouragement. I can't think of missing a day anymore. Had you told me last year I would be (able to run) running this much I would have passed out due to laughter.

I started running around this time last year and spent just under 4 months injured off and on. Your heart and lungs are ready to be pushed long before your legs can handle it. I've learned the hard way that I'm not 21 anymore and have had to cut back on the mileage many times. That said, I feel good and am enjoying the sport immensely. My prediction for fuegote is that in Jan. of next year you'll weight about 190 pounds or less.
