sorry to read about some of the turmoil here -- i just wish politics were more civilized in general -- hate all the bashing done by both sides in political campaigns me - well, my back has been acting up the last 2 days - not sure why - i did run 2 days in a row but they were both at an easy pace and only a 4 mile sunday and 5 mile monday - so frustrating!! i did get to see my youngest son compete in his first race ever today -- so fun -- the team finished very strong!! he did well - thought maybe he'd finish a little sooner but was his first race and i'm glad he didn't go out so strong that he crashed in the end -- it was a 2.7 mile race that he completed in 20:05 very decent for my baby!! my 18 yr old also showed up to watch him and to see his gf who is still a jr on the team -- nice to see him for whatever reason!! hope my back feels less less stiff and painful tomorrow so i can go out for an easy run myself - nite!!
