Tessa-even feels odd to think about typing this... but, I am happy for you and your family that his pain and tortured time has passed. Karen is right to applaud you for the dignity and grace you have shown throughout... and the humor. Your kids have learned a huge lesson from watching you. I'm sure that you have helped them to see his last days, weeks, months in a human light that others would not and have given them the ability to treat others the same. Your strength and endurance goes well beyond the confines of running. Hugs....and do your best to remember better times.

MyMomRuns, I heartily agree. Prayers for comfort for Tessa and family, especially DD and DS.
Adjusted furnace has a wonky thermostat. It wants to jump down 10 degrees. Yesterday was a track run at the gym for 35 minutes. Lots of people there. At least lots of people are trying to be healthy. Today will be a quick work out at home since I am taking a friend out for his birthday.
Happy runs, All! :::HUGS:::
Where is the "any" key?

Thinking of you, Tessa, prayers to you and your family
Tessa...hugs for you and your family. Whatever thoughts are rolling around in your head, do not let any negative ones stay and never, ever feel guilty for anything you hear me? You have been an inspiration to us all throughout this ordeal as you have to your family...
Since the roads are still icy, I resorted to my walk DVD this morning for the 5 miler. I am either going to have to start using the TM or move to a warmer climate to get enough miles in before my half in May. Forecast not looking good in the immediate future.
love you all
