I’m getting my wife an iPhone soon. There’s a gnawing feeling in my stomach when she runs alone – I bet your husband has the same flutters, even if he never says anything.

Much appreciate the compliment – I’m getting back to blogging hard as soon as we launch.

thank you!

I’ve only recently started enjoying running. Before then, it was an occasional thing too. Part of the trick was finding what was holding me back (boredom, hard to get going, no little goals, running apps that drove me batty, etc.).

Running is also a virtuous cycle – after I ran regularly, I cut weight. Once I cut weight, running was easier.

Keep going – you’re doing great.

This is the first post I’ve read here, I was referred by a link posted in the comments at Nerd Fitness. I have to say, while I’ve never been a huge fan of running, I was always too fat, I do enjoy it now and then, and I absolutely love your take on goals. You’re right, huge goals suck, small defineable goals are where it’s at.

You’ve really put it in perspective here, and the simplicity helps break it down further, this can be applied to any area of life.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful post.
