A little more

November 6, 2007

Here I am with R and some random Scottish guy.  We are running through my neighborhood at about mile 7.
My legs are a bit better today. It’s still quite a challenge to walk downstairs, especially to the subway, but I am more AWAKE!  My boss insisted that I bring my finisher’s medal in today and [...]

Report

Perhaps because I added way, way, WAY too much salt to the soup I made, my weight is off in bizarro world.  According to the scale, I have gained 4 lbs. in the past 4 days. Yowzers!
But I am excited because at lunch today, I am headed to the Expo!  At the Expo! I will [...]
