I would not call me a runner. Today's 45 minutes was very challenging.

The top of my right foot is numb, and just coming back to life. Left foot is fine. My shins caused a great deal of pain the entire time. Obviously, I am not stretching enough, and the concrete is not helpfuleitherr. They say I should be running on grass, which I will. I might even go to the soft track at the high school.

I really appreciate your moral and financialsupportt
