You inspired me to give this program a try. Not sure if I'll do an actual race, but it would be nice if I were physically capable of running more than a mile. I have to admit, I also hate running.

I should give that a try, since I also hate running. My sister did the couch to 5k program and also thinks it's great. That’s fabulous! I should give that a try, since I also hate running.

Milo of Kroton: was "the most illustrious of athletes..." (Strabo, Geography, 6.1.12). Born over 2,000 years ago in an ancient Greek colony of southern Italy, he won the Olympic wrestling championship six times between 540 BCE and 516 BCE. So great was his strength that once, when a building collapsed, he supported the roof while his friends escaped unharmed. The story of how Milo got his strength has been told for over 2,000 years. Briefly, his father gave him a bull calf for his son to raise. One day, his father asked him, 'How big is your bull today?' Milo ran outside, picked up the calf and carried him inside to show his father. Each day, his father asked him 'How big is your bull today?' and each day Milo ran outside, picked up the bull and carried him to his father. This went on for a number of years. As the bull grew, so did Milo’s strength." Ah, Milo….
