Blog Problems

    I am having problems with my blog. My old write-ups went to drafts, a note is saying my browser is no longer supported by Blogger and to try Google Chrome which I did, the old comments section gone and maybe some other problems too. I am hoping that this gets through alright as well as the four(June, May, April & March postings) that I posted lately. Carpe Diem. Tough to be a greenhorn.

Still can not align columns. Old blog postings from April 2011 to Jan. 2012
went to draft files. Also comments were deleted. Guess I accidentally
pressed the wrong keys. One of these days, will get it right. Bear with me.

This month I did 7 short races; 5-5K's, 1-5 miler & 1-10K and my week
mileage is still low. The target is 50-60 miles a week but never materialized.
Tough getting old. Nevertheless, life goes on. Till next month.
