you need a good county song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKfJ8yaIDq4

It has been voted "hot" by me and Kelli. Josh Turner and his wife did the video, which makes it even hotter ;D W had a bit of a song thing on my blog yesterday :D

From Lucia on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 16:48:07

A country song? I need a good country man! Hahahahaha! Thanks for the update, I'll check out W's comments on your blog.

Haven't had the time lately to check out all my favorite blogs. Sounds like you are getting in some crosstraining. Hows the stress fracture healing? Hope things are going well.

From Walter on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 19:07:00

Wow, Marion, that is a sexy video! I wonder what Id look like in a stetson hat and some wranglers? I dont sing worth a crap, but if I did it would be country.

From Bonnie on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 19:41:00

Every Lucia needs a break now and then!

From marion on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 19:44:09

I TOLD you it was HOT! Kelli posted it on my blog. I have a new crush ;)

From Lucia on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 20:14:23

You think that's hot? Check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91uFaTUlDQA

When I was a teenager, I was SURE the singer was going to come to Buenos Aires to find me and marry me and that we would live happily ever after :)

From Lucia on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 20:17:46

Josse, it's always nice when the elite girls stop by :)

I think (hope) my stress fracture is healing well - I have my follow-up appointment on October 6, and that's 8 weeks since I stopped running, so I think I'll be cleared to run. The thing is, I never really had a lot of pain on the leg, so I'm not sure how the doc is going to make sure I'm completely healed...

I'm going to get a nice massage in the next few weeks to make sure I'm all loosen up by the time I start running again.

From Walter on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 20:23:39

Wow, Ill say! I carumba! I I I. Did you see the mullet on that guy!? Lucia, you love the guys with a full head of hair! lol

Marion, Ive got to go take a cold shower! yikes! Tell Kelli she's a country bumpkin! lol

From Lucia on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 20:28:22

Walter and Marion, you're going to get us all in trouble!

Actually, I'm a big fan of shaved/bold heads (my dad, the handsomest man in the world, went bold very young, that may be why). But who can resist Luis Miguel's moves and voice ;)

From marion on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 20:29:45

WOW!!! That was AWESOME!! I am glad to see that the 80's were the 80's no matter what continent you are on! I remember the crushes of the 80's. I was totally in LOVE with David Lee Roth! I would have married him too. :)

Walter- yes- take the cold shower :D

From marion on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 20:35:41

Now- that 80's video is going to get us in BIG trouble. We need to have a 80's Race. You must come dressed as you were in the 80's. Hey- I would love to weigh what I did in the 80's. We could wear the dove shorts and the guys could wear the net tank tops! WOW! THat would be a blast! NO WALTER, the women CAN NOT wear the net tank tops. I remember the half shirts, but this mother of 6 shows her belly to NO ONE, especially while running ;)

From Walter on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 20:43:10

Wow Marion, you know me too well! I must put out that perv orra.

Lucia,

Good to see that you are still around, I was starting to wonder about you. Hope your schedule gets back to normal soon. It sucks when life gets too crazy.
