I had all sorts of things today but decided to boil it down to this:
 
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I love Thanksgiving because I have so much to be thankful for and having the opportunity to really focus on that is always a nice thing.  I have good health, healthy children, great children, a loving family, great friends, a [...]

Stronger has started another super secret fund. This one is genius – it’s GREAT! She wants people to toss $5 into the ring and then find out what it is for. It’s an act of faith and let me assure you, you won’t be disappointed with where the money is going.
So what’s five bucks to [...]

I must be getting boring because the comments have dwindled to a trickle. But never mind that because I have more important matters to discuss than the drivel that describes my life.
My daughter’s friend has made a pilot for she hopes will be a 6 episode web show. She needs to show the money people [...]

1). “I love to ride my bicycle, I love to ride my bike” – 21CM with deference and apologies to Queen
2). I had my first ride in a while with The Good Doctor on Sunday. He hadn’t been on the bike for a while and he thought it would be cold [...]

You know how that goes. Some days you are the dog and some days you are the hydrant. Today was way more hydrant than dog. I’m not talking about training – I did no training today. I’m just talking about life in general. Today it seemed like my life was [...]

I just wanted to update everyone on my 3 AM masters swim.  It was fabulous.  The air was cold, the moon was full and  the pool was very warm.  44 people showed up to swim and we had 2 coaches on deck.   We took a picture which I will hopefully be able to share with [...]

This photograph proves a few things.  The ‘Then’ version was taken when my eldest was 16 months old. She is now 25.
The ’Now’ was taken today, Nov 13, 2008.  Although the baby has changed, the Mama, the pants and the sweater are the same. 
So what does this picture prove:
1).  I’m a pack rat
2).  I have a [...]

I don’t have a lot to say today but here’s a thing or so
1). Another issue I had with my 20 mile run was a lack of calories. I decided, foolishly, not to carry a hand held bottle. I had 3 gels on me and I took Gatorade – once. Therefore, [...]

There are a couple of truisms when it comes to racing.
Don’t go out too fast …. and
It’s all about the shirt.
This weekend’s 20 miler gave me an opportunity to be reminded of both – one in a good way and one, not so much.
The race was the Clarksburg Country Run featuring several [...]

Not to worry- this is light on politics and long on swimming and fun
1).  I think we all know how I feel about this election.  Hope is the new black, baby!  Obama has a mess on his hands but I believe he will assemble a crack team and take methodical and well thought out steps [...]
