Trula,
Awesome! I just visited your blog, and you're a busy person! :-) I loved that your health goals included things that most people don't think of/consider as "health", like flossing daily, for instance.
I can definitely relate to your running mileage story; I hated, HATED running...couldn't see why anyone would possibly run...until a friend of mine talked me into joining her at an organized training program for women. I was desperate for friends, and the camaraderie and energy there was amazing, so I kept attending. When I started out, it was agonizing to take every step while I walked/jogged just one mile. I met my goal of 3.2 miles (doing a 5K race), then just like you, I got up to 10 miles! I was so excited about it!
And, do you have this experience---no matter if I am running a 5K or a 10-miler, the first mile is still the killer. ugh!
