GAF: I forgot to tell you my big news. I ran 3 miles without stopping.

ME: HOLY SCHMOLEY!!!!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's so FREAKING awesome!!!!!! Best news I heard all day.

GAF: I was excited. I was SLOW! It was on Wed. Cold outside. But the trails block a lot of the wind.

ME: Who freaking cares about slow?

GAF: I don't.

ME: Amen! Good for you!

GAF: Thank you.

ME: You have been bitten by the bug, haven't you?

GAF: Yeh. Lately, I've been on a roll. Good roll.

ME: Isn't it intoxicating?

GAF: 93 days til my half. So I'm making it a priority. 

ME: Isn't it empowering?

GAF: Yes it is.

ME: Isn't it fantastic to feel so proud of yourself?

GAF: It is. I've been eating better and that has helped too. Scale hasn't moved much.....but I feel better too.

ME: YOU did it!!!!! YOU made it happen. That's so cool!

GAF: Right.

ME: The scale will follow. It's a simple byproduct of hard work.

GAF: I know it will. Next goal is 3.5 miles without stopping.

ME: I am sooo excited right now!

GAF: Thank you!!!!

ME: Yay!Yay!Yay! Can I blog it? LOL

GAF: Of course.

ME: You rock.

GAF: Thanks.

ME: Don't you just want to tell everyone? I love walking around with that little secret ... I ran today. I did something good for me today. I feel good today.

GAF: I did tell quite a few people....and my legs were pretty stiff so I was walking funny......so then I got to tell more people why I was walking funny.

ME: YEE HA!!!!!

GAF: Now get to work so you can leave!

ME: Oh, OK. You side-tracked me. Now my day is better.

GAF: And thanks for being a great inspiration!

ME: I told you ... I am using YOU as inspiration! (I only ran 2 miles today. And none yesterday. You kicked my ass.)

ME: We'll take turns inspiring each other.

GAF: Deal!
