Two cool things!

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Christopher Robin to Pooh”
A. A. Milne

We all need to be reminded of this once in a while, don't you think? ...after completing a 12K on Thursday, I ran a nice 3K today to prepare for what I hope is a relatively strong 14 or 15K tomorrow. It's not that I feel absolutely no pain, but it remains stable and I feel real good mentally. I'd say that's a good thing.

Finally, the second cool thing is the most amazing gift in the world. If all goes well, some time in early October, I will become a Grandmother!!!!! I am SO EXCITED! My son K and his fiancée are 3 months pregnant :) I'm ecstatic! Yay!

Have a great weekend everyone. Happy running, and of course, I'll let you know how tomorrow's "long" run goes.
Cheers!
