A first time for everything

First times can be painful, especially when running is involved. The other day I ran four miles for the first time this year. Now I realize that this feet should have been accomplished a while ago, but running and I have a sort of nasty relationship. I give, give, give, (even if is is slowly) and running only takes and takes and takes, hardly even improving the situation nor giving me pleasure. The best way to fix a relationship problem is to get a councilor, someone to come along side you and cheer you on in the right direction. The Loberman was that for me the other evening. Officially dubbed "Loberman power", the encouragement of a friend can get you much farther than you thought you could go.
Notice that where as I am flat on my back Larry is calmly continuing on with his day and enjoying a smoothie. (Thanks to Mrs. Lober for that super delicious drink, it was the perfect treat for a sweaty tired person such as me!)
One of the other thoughts that was mighty motivating was, "water". I just couldn't wait to get a cool drink and to cool off! Everything feels so much better when you work for it, even a dowsing from the hose.

Thanks Larry!
