Ms. Olive, thank you!! That is probably THE most wonderful thing about this board, everyone cheering everyone else on!! The power of one is something but the power of many is nothing short of amazing!!

Not sure about the Italian, actually probably not but maybe in another life! But many of those things mentioned DO describe me!

Joy, I try... I really, really try! Those weeks that the evil box doesn't move it's a bit difficult. So when the good times come around... it's time to celebrate!!! It keeps me going for when it's not so good! Plus... I'm the oldest. Maybe that's something we just had to do growing up, you know. Kind of the opposite of the youngest syndrone. Hmm, something to ponder.

Echo... omg girl! You DID make me cry!!! Of course you can cry with me!! As I hope you'll allow me to do with you! Funny you mention the 5K, etc. When I started with the trainer he asked me my goals... why was I there... my answers were; 1. Overall better health 2. Run a 5k in 2 years... at 10k in 4 and a half in 6! 3. To not have the need to wear a skirted bathing suit!! The 5k is on the short term goal list... if you can count 2 years short. It's so nice to hear that maybe your goals aren't too far fetched!

That's it for me ladies... I'm going to attempt sleep. I don't mind handsome hubby being away but the first night he's gone is awful in regards to sleep...
