The Legs That Run in the Family
From an email I sent to my sister:
Oh yeah, and also I ran three whole miles on the treadmill today. THREE! I realize we talked about how running on a treadmill is kind of like cheating and you don't get the same benefits from it, but I DON'T CARE! I haven't run three miles at once since that time I ran with the whole family in that 5K in the dark and I won that medal, not because I was the fastest one in my age group, but because I was the ONLY one in my age group, and then I wore that sucker proudly all the way on the drive from Alex City to Troy, and then when I got to Troy I kept wearing it and dancing around and saying, "I won a MEDAL" in a weird little lilting sing-song voice until I was almost positive Dominic, my brand new boyfriend, was going to dump me for being so freaking weird.

YAY for you for running. At basic training running was the one thing I just couldn't do, no matter what. May have been because I had 2 broken ankles... wait, no. I still can't run!
Congratulations Kate. Running that much is an accomplishment. Keep it up! ;)
