Yes... I did take the pitcher of water to the race with us in Marg's car...... i couldn't race until i finished the entire thing... (above) on our way out of the rio last night Meesh thought she would pull her coat out from under Amy-ya know the table cloth trick.. the stool moved Amy fell on the floor and Meesh dropped to the floor laughing. They were blocking the entire walkaway.. I was having a conversation with Amy when it happened it may have been the best face of the night. (left) I think might be the face everyone claims I make but I never know I do.... "Seriously? Are you kidding me?"

I am in a great mood. I have great friends and am very thankful for them. I have a great life, I am happy.
Last night we went out and I consumed a bit more than I would have liked but I wasn't out of control. I got up this morning and ran my first 7k... i'm not 100% of our time, frankly that doesn't matter i was just happy to run. It put me in such a great mood, not to mention got the toxins out of my body. It was great to just jog.... i need to work on getting my time up over the next few weeks but i'm sure it will come. two days ago i was wondering if i would ever feel comfortable running again but i think that has passed...
