Thank you for the challenge

Thank you for this great opportunity to improve my health (physically and mentally). I am in my fourth week of training and was progressing pretty good, until three days ago. I ran/walked 3 miles Wednesday morning (31 minutes, 30 seconds) and by that night had achilles tendon pain (tendonitis). So I have accepted my own medical recommendation to you all and have taken the last two days off with ibuprofen (ugh!). I am getting ready to go out and try three miles this morning (Saturday) and see how the old body feels. I love this blog...great accountability tool!
