A Great 60-Minute Run After Skin Cancer Surgery (Monday, Jan.

Today I Made My Maiden Voyage for 2012 for Running (Monday, Jan.

My wife and I just finished watching on television the original Disney movie, "The Incredible Journey." The movie is the story of two dogs and a cat who traveled 200 miles to their new home. They didn't know where their human family was, but they knew by instinct that it was west. As I watched the movie, I related to the old bull terrier, Bodger. He paced himself and knew when to go and when to stop and rest.
At times, I think, "I won't go running today." Then, I think of Bodger who never stopped until he had completed the 200 miles and found his human family. I think, "If old Bodger can make 200 miles, this old runner can make seven miles."
 

When I left to go running, it was raining mixed with snow—not heavy, just a light shower.
