This week marks one year since the release of Run Your Butt Off! Wow, has it been fun! I love hearing from so many readers who never believed they could be runners. With patience, consistency, and maybe a few of the tips they picked up in the book, they found that they could, in fact, run for 30 minutes straight. And they love it. That's the most gratifying thing to hear.

We've been having some laughs over on the RYBO facebook page, so please follow us there and weigh in on my lime green compression socks.

I'm hard at work on Walk Your Butt Off!, due out spring of 2013. Our test panelists who tried the program did extremely well at walking faster and shedding pounds. A few of them, in fact, can walk 5K faster than many runners run 5K. I have new respect for walking — it's a tough workout — and these days I often find myself walking on my days off from running.

Thanks for the support this year!
