Because you wanted it, because I felt terrible about you not knowing, because I couldn't imagine how you were making it through the day, wondering, worrying, obsessing about what was really going on.  For these reasons, I brought it back:  my mileage tracker.  You should feel better already.  Your little savior is over there to the right again, under "Status Quo".  That means "the existing condition or state of affairs."  And I added something to it this time.  Not only will I be tracking my total running mileage from the beginning of this year, I will also be tallying the number of abdominal workouts I do.  You can see that January was a quiet month for my torso.  Apparently, my abs have been likin' their soft and squishy status quo and have said "status no" to crunches.  Unfortunately, you need a strong core to run a decent distance and not end up hunched over like a "C" at the end of your run. So my legs say to my abs, "Game on!"  Interestingly, my attitude is taking sides with my abs so we'll see how this plays out...
