Well, I managed to run a mile a couple days ago, but i had to break it up to walk up the big hill on our road. This morning I ran almost all the way up. (i walked about 5 ft of it) Maybe tomorrow I'll conquer it. I'll feel like Rocky if I do. I might even make Eugene play the music as I walk in the door. I can hear it now....
