As a symbolic gesture, I ran a short distance from my apartment to Russell St. and back. The run is downhill at the beginning and uphill on the way back (duh).

Total milage 1.8. Total minutes 28. 12 down and 16 back up the hill.

I consider this a moral victory.

Lenny rode with me on the bike, handing me a water bottle every so often.

Rocky Balboa.

Da da da. Da da da.

I am off to a good start.

This Year Will Be Different.
