Who I'd like to meet: Friends I've lost touch with. People with similar interests and experiences.
I would like to know why Martha and Christine are on your top but not me! Haha just kidding, I just wanted to say that you rescuing that baby bird was really cool and nice(:
LOL!!! Don't worry... I'm keeping the blog for a rainy day... And I won't actually delete my entire profile... I'll explain when we catch up. I promise... L&L!!!
Thank you for the add! SD RNR was tough for me, I'm coming back from an ankle injury 2 months ago, so it made it difficult, but I finished so that was a huge acomplishment for me. The weather was perfect on that day, couldn't of asked for anything better... :)
I am running the Chicago Marathon on October 12th, I am very looking forward to it, haven't been to the east coast since RNR Virginia back in 2007. Hope to see you there.
I'm sorry I didn't get your message Dave! I wonder why it didn't go through. =(
Recovery is going well and I'm looking forward to doing it again on Sunday at North Olympic Discovery Marathon! I've never run this course before, so it'll be interesting enough. How are things with you?
I agree with Christine it was really good to see you all and wish it was under happier times...I don't know what to think about the bacon link...I know we are a family of bacon lovers but this pushes it a little over the edge!! I love the Walgreen's blog...Marina and I had a good laugh at the section and I didn't even think about the eye level but you are right!! I bet a lot of parents had to answer a few questions.
