6000

 As a runner and streaker, I am always on the lookout for a milestone.  Well, this is my 6,000th post on this blog.  I started on April 19, 2008 at the suggestion of my running friends, Jon Walk and Katy Lampson.  Over the years, the blog has become an important part of my motivation to keep running.  And, I really appreciate those who follow me and help keep me motivated.  Hopefully, somewhere along the way, the blog has encouraged someone else to start running to stay healthy.  According to the stats provided with the blog, it has received 761,774 visits.  It was a nice hot (low 90's) Sunday afternoon in Huntsville.  I went to the park and ran 4.5 miles on the trails.  Managed to stay upright the whole time.
