      Woohoo! Good luck!

      Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

       

      When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

              WOOOOOHOOOOOOO WTG!!! That's how a running addiction starts!

                  Thanks for all the nice encouragement everyone!!! Smile You are all so nice! This week has been tougher to get the miles in. I had a "volunteer appreciation" at the kids school on Tuesday and took my mom out afterwards. Wed I had a meeting during which I got called to pick up a sick kid (of course I was 45 mins from the school!), Thurs and Friday I have field trips with the kids for most of the day and to top it off hubby is out of town as of today to ride his dirt bike up north ( I think "up north" is a term native to Michiganders but he is 4 hours away anyways!). Luckily I have a treadmill but I have to say that since I've started running outside the treadmill has lost its appeal! Regardless, I am determined to get my miles in. I have 10 more to go by Saturday. I WILL DO IT!!!

                    So is he in the northern lower peninsula or the UP? I always think it's funny when people say they are going "up North" and go to Traverse City or Cadillac...that's not up NORTH! Big grin k

                      I'll concede Houghton Lake and LP points north of that as Up North. Because if it's in the UP, you say "It's in da UP" OT: Very funny play by actor Jeff Daniels about Yooper life called "Escanaba in da Moonlight." See it if you get a chance. (I think they even did a low budget movie, which I need to see.)

                      When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

                        It's Indian River - does that count? I've gotta get a map out. I even consider Boyne "up north"!
