How I did it
It made me
Happy 
How I did it: I've been running (again) for a couple of years, but signed up to train with a local Galloway group, and that helped a lot. We met to train together on Saturdays for progressively longer long runs, using the run-walk-run method. Read how I did it…

I’ve been training since May for a half marathon on November 2. My long runs (actually a run/walk combo right now) are up to 10-milers.
I recently bought a book to teach myself Hebrew. The first chapter went well, but I need to keep with it.
