     That was a week ago.  I have since continued my training and signed up for the "Jingle Bell Run" here in Tallahassee.  Its a yearly run that starts after the city has its Christmas lights parade, or something like that.  I have no idea how long the event is.  But I already registered in person and picked up my long sleeve shirt,  Santa hat and jingle bell.  It takes place on December 3rd at 6:00pm.  I am looking forward to it.  With several thousand participants running through the city blocks and not knowing how long the run is I am not setting a time goal.  Only to finish.  I have several friends running with me again.

     My wife as a job which requires her to travel, sometimes quite extensively.  This is one of those weeks.  She's going to be in the Miami area for 3 nights, meaning....no jogging for me.  I have to take care of three grade school children and get them off to bed and such.  No running around the block for me during this time.  It's going to make for a short training run on Friday night for the run on Saturday.  I'll keep everyone posted.

     Oh, by the way.  I've noticed that my face is skinnier (extra chin is disappearing) and my upper chest and shoulder area is starting to melt away as well.  Starting to see the benefits of running for a month now.  :)
