Leslie told me to be at her house at 7 this morning.  Guess who was sound asleep when I showed up at 7?  Slacker!

We ran the pipeline trail again this morning.  I was about 5 minutes faster than last night with Odee (not counting stopping times) because he was struggling so much.

I ran down the road and was about 3/4 of a mile down the road when Leslie passed me.

Then I came home to a boring Homeowner's Association Meeting.  They raised our monthly fees again. Grrrr.

My son says he is showing up at 2 a.m. to spend Mother's Day with me.

NICE run and wake-up call to Leslie. Isn't there a law against HOA raising fees? So sorry! HAPPY MOTHER's DAY WEEKEND! How sweet of your son. I'd be lucky to get a "Good Morning" out of my son.

Smooth - I know he is probably only showing up for Mother's Day guilt. And now I have to fold all the laundry I've been throwing on his bed.

Thanks for the wake up knock and the run!! It was great!

I am glad we didn't take Odee, he is out of shape, he is still limping.

Bummer about the HOA raise.

Enjoy Kevin, he is a cutie! Happy Mother's Day to you!!

Nice run :) I love the mothers day visit from your son :) Is that is the time he was born?

He moved out of his dorm this morning and into his Dad's house for the summer. He starts working construction at the same company his dad works at on Monday.

No - he was born in the evening. I think he is going to 'party' at his frat house tonight - so I will be the crash pad.
