I have a bone to pick with you...your last entry(6/15). I'm sure you were tired, stressed or didn't stretch properly the other day when you tried running. I just want to make sure you're not losing focus. I know it's hard to run or motivate yourself when others aren't running with you, but it's important that you stay focused. If I can make a suggestion... next time you don't have too much time on your hands but still want to run, get a good stretch, put on your cream and instead of trying to do a distance run (especially on the treadmill), try running a smaller distance at a faster pace. This will not only benefit your cardio but will help with your speed. It is important that you stretch so you won't hurt yourself and sometimes a little less could go a longer way.

I told you you're not alone in this and any motivation I can help you with i'm here. You have come so far, but the adventure has only begun. You've only made it Rivendale. You still need to go to Mordor, and your Sam (me) is right here next to you. Remember Gandalf's wise words, "All you have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to you". I know you have a lot on your plate right know, but with baby steps and a little comfort from your friends, you can conquer the world! I put my faith in you.
