a new chapter in my life:

i can admit it now. i was afraid to run on the treadmill. i was afraid to even let go while walking on the treadmill. well i confessed this fear to katie on the weekend and she suggested running while hanging on and that then i would see that i could let go without becoming airborne, and crashing backwards into the stationary bikes. so what do you know that this morning i was walking briskly on the treadmill, at a 2.5 incline at that and what do you know, before i even knew i was doing it, i was running and while i was coming to grips with that fact, i went ahead and let go! it was great! katie's a wise woman.
