OOOps! I am not sure how I did that, I lost one post, and then posted the same thing twice! I THINK that I got it all straight again.

Forgot to say, "HI ANNETTE!" (Waving wildly in a southery direction.) Annette was one of my roommates in college, and she knows that I speak the truth in the post about Janelle ! We had so much fun, and it was so nice to see her comment. Please keep commenting. It's nice to know that I am not talking to myself here! BTW, Annette, if you haven't read the book, "Eats, Shoots,& Leaves", PLEASE read this book, you have come to mind several times as I go through this fun title. You punctilious grammar stickler , you.

Race is trying to kill me. A long, slow , painful death-by -running. My legs are shot. I know you think that I am whining here, but, c'mon- YOU try running with a guy who's nick name is RACE BANNON. This is the man that has run the Marine Corps Marathon..twice. This is the guy who has taken on a 50 mile marathon! No, you read that right 50 miles! I am the girl who would fake sick in gym class! We went running together yesterday and today. Unfortunately, this may be the thing that strains our marriage beyond its breaking point. ;-) We ran/ walked yesterday for 50 minutes. (This is all done by rigid scheduling on Race's watch, Argh!) Then today, for fun, we "walked" the hill behind our house.....4 times. For those of you who have been to my house, you KNOW the hill that I am talking about. STEEP! STEEP! It goes from our back yard, through the woods and down to the creek. We would go down, then turn around and come straight up.
