Running Again and New Website Creation

I started running again on Friday morning. I put in three miles next to the road by my house. I've been pretty sore this weekend. Running just ain't the same as the elliptical machine.

The site was created using Joomla on a GoDaddy.com hosted website utilizing MySQL 5.0.

Components added:

  • AllVideos Reloaded
  • GCalendar
  • Attachments for Articles Extension.
