Fierce

My friend Ellen and I are the Fierce Fliers in our Make 2K17 Epic!! Life with Gusto group.  Here we are with our "Fierce and Fabulous" shirts.

Run group this morning, a smallish group on a nice day.

     I attempted to enter the NYC marathon.  There is a lottery just to enter.....98,247 applied, only 16,211 got in.  I was not one of them.....again.  I guess I will just keep trying every year.  It is a bucket list event.  50,000 people will run this year including 9000 charity runners, the 16000 lottery runners, and the rest are speed-demon guaranteed entry people (I will never be speedy).
     BTW entry costs $295....times 50,000 people is $14,750,000!  That's a lot of money going to NYC not counting hotel, food, and entertainment monies.

     I ran into a friend today and she took our picture.  I'm still out there trying every single day and so is Charleigh-dog.  Yay for nice weather.

Flint, Michigan has declared a state of emergency because there is so much lead in the blood of their children.

and 45 is getting rid of the EPA, getting rid of the clean water act, and allowing more coal mining waste to be dumped into streams.  He is looking out for big business only, not people.

I watched Michael Moore's documentary from 2015, "Where to attack next."  It was excellent.  He traveled to other countries and compared them with America.  Very informative!
