Okay, nothing so far.  Getting to my aunt's at 2 am was pretty tough and I have had a bad week. (Cold sore from my angelina jolie lips migrated to my throat but are going away)  We didn't get home until about noon today.  

Kids are asleep in my room but I am going to get about 4 miles in on the treadmill tonight.

Laurie I am at the hospital, my son in law had a stroke, I was going to cancel my run but thought it might be good therapy. Maurine and I are running at 6:00a, if you would like to join us, be there by 6:00, talk to you soon!

Laurie- i am glad you are feeling better.

LESLIE! Oh my gosh!!! Is he alright? How is your daughter? I think you may be right to keep the run :) A few months ago my very good friend died (same age as me) and the only "normal" ting I could do was run every morning. Sometimes when the world is falling apart, the best thing to do- if you can- is run like a mad woman with our crazy cute friend :)
