Running in the hail sounds like FUN! At least it was only 2 miles, any more and it might've led to permanent damage I am such a wuss on the bike but kind of don't mind the elements for walking, hiking, or running.

I also never thought to keep track of yearly mileage. I used to do that on the bike but have been out of it so long, I didn't revert back. I think this will be my New Years resolution! I've been running 10 miles +/- a week since spring so maybe '08 will be impressive!

I ran 3.5 miles today. I felt so good I decided to start on hills. I could control my HR better than previous days but wasn't perfect. Improvement is good though! After this weekend, I'm going to start working on getting up to that half-marathon which is at the end of May. I had been doing 5-6 miles on my long days but since I got sick, I've regressed. I'm sure I can get it back though.
