Running update: As many people now know, I am running on a regular basis. It is my goal to run almost daily. I think I will give myself some flexibility by saying that I can take 2 nights a week off due to circumstance. I say "nights" because that is when I run; anytime between 10:00 PM and 1:00 AM. Also, I am alternating between running 1 mile and running 2 miles. I bought a stopwatch so I can pace myself. So far, I'm running the mile in about 8:00 and intentionally slowing down to about 10 minutes/mile when I run 2 miles.

I post this now in the hopes that in a year, I can look back on it and think "8 minute miles? I eat 8 minute miles for breakfast now." Of course, with my luck, I'll probably look back on it and think "What was I doing to my knees!!!"
