Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

Took my brother's dog for a run today. His limit is 4 miles, apparently. A little past 4 miles, he sat down and tried to run the other way (like that was the direction of home). I decided to walk him the remaining mile home because I didn't want to kill someone else's dog. When we got closer I ran him so that my watch would hit 4.25 because I didn't want to log 4.07.

Then we waited and waited and waited for my brother's baby to be born. She finally was on Wed. night. Mom and baby are well. I saw them today (Thursday) and then we headed back home.

Took my SIL out to lunch on Tuesday. She's struggling mentally, but she is seeing a therapist, which is good. She had her ovaries removed Wednesday. She is doing well physically..

You were nice to that dog.

Congratulations to the new baby. They do take some waiting for.

It sounds like your SIL is struggling with some real issues. Best of luck to her.

Congrats to your family on the baby. Have you considered a therapist for yourself for your inability to log 4.07? Actually I like to stop the watch on the even mile too, maybe we can get a group discount.

Thanks for the congrats, Carolyn! That baby's real purty and was well worth the wait.

And Joe, I need it to be at least even to the .10 of the mile or 1/4 mile...and that is the least of all the things that I need therapy for :)
