Rinda - so glad to hear you're running outside and doing well. Deb - hafta get through 48 more days, but, yes, chances are enormous that I'll be employed elsewhere in the fall. Increase is going well. I'm sticking to 10% or less each week, and running super, super slowly - and feeling good. Huge cut-back week coming soon when concert-a-rama begins in full. Can't wait until Memorial Day weekend. After that all of the ensemble craziness kind of dies down. Only extra commitment is an overnight with one of the 8th grades, and it involves sailing, so it can't be all bad. Eliz

Eliz, take the turtle off and put a rabbit there. Glad all are healing and rehabbing. We will all be back to norm soon. Btb, good luck next week! I will be there with kids and friend. I havnt done much running at all. Skipped out on my Sunday run with running partner to go hiking with guy friend. He and his dog practically ran up the mountain. It was snowing on top and there was a guy who hiked up with two dogs and skied down. At work, so back to the old grindstone. Spring come soon to new england! Laurie
