Oklahoma

Oh, what a beautiful mornin', Oh, what a beautiful day, I got a beautiful feelin' Ev'rything's goin' my way. Oh, what a beautiful day.

That was the song going through my head this morning. (I admit I had to look up where it came from - the play Oklahoma). Wow! So gorgeous! Yes, a little warm for a run. But so much different from rain. The Stampede should have a good turn out. Good Luck to Wade who is running his first race!

I snuck in a 4 mile run. I tried to do some "farklets" - sprinting a block then slowing down. It was weird to do it without my 'peeps'. I can't remember the last time I ran alone in Sparta!

Loss of a loved one

It finally happened this weekend. After a long and hard fought battle after a serious injury my beloved toenail fell off. Well, it didn't actually fall off, but you get the idea. No pain involved. I think what happens is a blister forms under the nail on a long run such as a marathon. Eventually the fluid goes away and then there is just an empty void. Okay, I could go on but I know some of you are already cringing. I could search the Internet for a good lost toenail photo, but it is Monday morning and I know you are all hating being back at work after a beautiful weekend, so I will be kind.

GREAT run with Christy and Mike. Mike was feeling a little rebellious so we created a new route on the fly. I am finally starting to feel back to normal... hills might be in our future soon!
