Sorry you're not feeling too hot! Get some rest Walter James ... I don't want you to catch one of those nasty bugs that are going around!

Teena, do you know John Vyke on here? I keep running into him on the park trail and at races and now hes on the blog and has you as his friend. Its a small world. I used to live in his ward as a kid.

Cody, there were several ones out there today but the wifey is making me sheetrock. blah! when are you and Bethany coming down to show off your Mad painting skills in my basement?

From Jon on Sat, May 30, 2009 at 12:02:40 from 75.169.150.250

I think the people who really love painting are Bethany and my wife. I'll volunteer then anytime!

From Walter on Sat, May 30, 2009 at 12:44:39 from 76.27.15.208

From Kelli on Sat, May 30, 2009 at 19:49:40 from 71.219.98.183

How are you feeling?

From RAD on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 00:08:04 from 67.166.99.8

Nice miles Walter! And it sounds like you found some good company as well. Hope the yucky stuff isn't from your achilles, just normal allergies, heat and other fun aliments that go away quickly.

From Walter on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 00:46:08 from 76.27.15.208

Kelli, Ive been feeling with my hands usually. lol Today was hard for me. I didnt feel good at all. I hashed it out though.

Rachel, The trail was rockin with people this morning. I have been sleeping with the windows opened and think i am getting some allergies.

From Shelly9 on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 00:55:21 from 76.27.55.22

Nice miles! Sorry your not feeling well. Be careful with that sheet rock dust it can reek havok on the respiratory system.

From Walter on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 01:10:22 from 76.27.15.208

Michelle, it was the insulation that was driving my lungs crazy.

From Shelly9 on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 01:25:06 from 76.27.55.22

That'll do it too. Isn't remodeling fun? I worked construction (carpet) before I started teaching and never felt quite right. There's always something yucky in the air.

From Walter Brown on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 08:56:00 from 76.27.15.208

Michelle, when is your last day?

From Michelle on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 09:35:48 from 163.248.132.84
