      thanks Diane! Me too.. it was killing me how hard running was for me. But hopefully by adding intervals in and spicing it up soon I'll be pounding the pavement. That and I'm sure a new pair of shoes would help too ;)

    I finally have an itch to run again. Watching the women elite in the Boston Marathon completely blew my mind. Shalane & Kara put up some killer fights.
