Workplace drama?  I work in a factory. That's a daily occurrence. Lol

Congratulations Jay on being the best RD. I'm not surprised.

Me?  I've graduated from cute little one milers to 2 cute little miles on my rest days as per the boss' instructions. Today however they were on the tm because it was too hot.

When I came back in the guards were all concerned looking and asked me if I was alright.  I was toast!  But I could talk so they all relaxed a bit   

Guards . . . Hmmm  . . . if we didn't know better . . . .

An hour of core/ST after work.  I'm really trying hard to make this a priority habit.  I bought some resistance bands for hip and glute stuff.  I think they're going to be a beneficial addition.

Okay - Butt icing, then a shower, then bed.  See ya on the flip side, friends ~~

jay - have any other RW'ers ever been RD's-of-the-Year

or are you the only one in the world?  I think so.

What were your 10K times in those days?

How many runners compared to now?

 

My sympathies to SteveP at the loss of his hero - Batman.

 

 

DW and I met Adam West when we had first started dating. When I asked for his autograph, DW helped me remember my name and how to spell it. That's when I knew she was a keeper and am very thankful she keeps me. He kept his FB page updated frequently until a few weeks ago.

(((((MikeE))))).

Greta News PBJ.

 

 

For some reason I'm getting "Runner's" magazine at work.  Never subscribed to it.  What's up wit dat?

 

 

I've been getting a new catalogs as well. I've sent e-mails requesting the deliveries cease.

The kids gave us a hotel room on the mainland during Mackinac Island's Lilac Festival. DW and I decided to make it a three day weekend.

Friday was bumming around a bit. DW went on a zip line for the first time.

Then we enjoyed the flora and fauna. Lady Slippers are an orchid that has resisted domestication. A specific fungus causes a seed to pop and it usually lands near the parent plant. If left undisturbed, they can live 20 years. When any part of the root is damaged, the entire plant dies.

We weer also happy to find wild sassafrass.

As well as a number of plants neither of us could identify.

There was a fallen tree in a wet area. I wanted to see if a salamander had taken up residence under a broken section of the rotting tree. When we rolled the log over, we saw it was on a stick. I got a little choked up...That log had a child.

Downtown Mackinaw City was fantastic.

Mackinac Island is a popular tourist destination between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The only motorized vehicles on the island are for emergency response. Everything else is either horse driven, on foot or bicycle. The area is very rich in history, trinkets and fudge.

And of course, lilacs.

In the mid 1700s, a fur trader allegedly buried himself among human bones in this cave to escape a massacre.

I know I know....too many pictures.

8 miles Friday just shy of 15 Saturday.

SteveP - thanks for the memories.  Henry and I met on a bike ride that included Mackinac Island and we have a poster of the lilac festival in our dining room.  i do remember biking through horse droppings and being happy that it was not my bike to clean!  marj
