Ran 4 miles with Twilight this morning.  Geesh - she isn't even panting and wants to play.

OK - just got a phone call from my daughter.  It made me laugh. My son-in-law's parents were divorced when he was 17.  His Dad got remarried right away. His Mom got remarried about 3.5 years ago, but they separated right after my daughter got married.  

Anyway - they told me a month ago his Dad got divorced and apparently his Mom got divorced too, because they read on facebook this morning that they got remarried yesterday.

Rachel - a little pain for the first 2 miles on the inside of the knee - but that is one of the hamstring insertions that has been bugging me.

I can tell you this - I will pay $500 to every member of this blog if I ever remarry my ex husband. :)

CRAZY!!! Glad to see you got in some miles, have fun on your trip! Is it business? It must be, why would you go to Detriot? When will you be back?

You need to be a Cliff Pacer, it is the perfect job for you, free travel and free marathons and you can meet your double.
