Calm morning and cool with temperatures in the high 40's. Ran 4 miles at a moderate pace.

Did check out the movie "Knowing" last night. Preferred "I Love You Man" given a choice of comedy over an "end of the world" movie.

The wind, the rain, but no snow. Ran 4.1 miles at a moderate pace. Keeping the faith that this is supposed to be healthy for me. So, as Jim Carey said in the movie Yes Man, "YES, YES, YES".

Rest day today, so no running. Feet get a welcome break from the daily workouts.

Had a good time yesterday at the Fort Worth Stock Yards drinking margaritas and doing nothing. Migrated to the Dog Show at the Will Roger's Memorial Center. And then, ended the day by taking in the Larry the Cable Guy Show. Funny comedian, even funnier in person!

This morning fished a local pond in Plano. Will post more on our weblog. Staying active, staying motivated.

Enjoying the weekend with a quick trip to a local pond for fishing. Did get a 4.1 mile run completed before fishing. Planning to head to Fort Worth later to checkout the Stockyards. So, no more fishing today but am looking forward to tomorrow's rest day from running.
