I’ve been an on-again, off-again runner for 20 years. Scary.

Anyway, this week I stumbled on a podcast of a “Couch to 5K” running program and started up again. The guy who created the podcast is doing the program himself and recording his progress here. If you are interested in trying the program, you can subscribe on iTunes — it’s free.

It’s raining here this morning. We’ve been loafing around, drinking coffee. I’m catching up on my New York Times crossword puzzles; Dave is playing guitar, of course. We are ecstatic that not only do we have today to relax, but tomorrow is a holiday. It doesn’t mean we don’t work, but it’s nice to not have the phone to answer.
