Strategy:

Own your experience and use it with pride. Modesty may be a fine thing, but not when it interferes with your abilities.

Put a Lid On It:

Aw Shoot!
WOOT! 2 miles done last Sunday, but my legs and feet took a pounding on cement. A bit about running surfaces.

There is now a thread on the Ravelry group to discuss your current exercise of any form.

Something I Really Like:

The Fitbit Flex--helping me jumpstart my return to running and fitness.

Blather:

CFR, running, and general high spirits.
