Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Fingers crossed

     The rain has passed us by once again.  Someday it will rain here, right?  There is a chance again for later today.....

     My brilliant dog just got a blanket caught in her collar and terrified herself as it chased her around the house!

     I have been following the Hardrock 100 on Twitter feed.  Kilian Jornet won in 22 hours 41 min., breaking the record by 42 minutes.  What an amazing athlete.  Tequila at mile 31 at 13000 feet elevation?  He's crazy.  I like his fueling with Kit Kat bars, though.  It is funny that he stopped and took pictures along the way and still blew away the course record.
     There is a 48 hour cut-off so there are a lot of amazing athletes out there.

     Meanwhile I have a friend who wants to start running so all I did today was a few 30 second repeats of slow jogging, just enough to give her a taste of what it is like without her getting discouraged.  I feel guilty. Isn't that the sign of a runner....you feel guilt when you see other people out running and you aren't?

     Have a great weekend everyone.
