    I will pray for sunshine and cool but not cold temperatures! Boston Marathon folks are always much happier running at 60°F than 80°F!

    Thanks Karen. I've no trouble with the cold. I run outside all winter. But I hate to run in the rain.

    Just completed my last big run before the half marathon next Sunday. Did 11.7 miles in 2 hours. Next Sunday I will strive for 13.1 miles inside of two and a half hours. I'm fundraising for AARCS a local animal rescue. I'm dedicating my run to Lenny, a six month old pup who is recovering from being shot and losing a leg after being hit by a car. He didn't give up and will recover.

    God bless you, Gayle! You're fantastic!

    I'm sure you'll have a great run and raise lots of money for AARCS and Lenny's care.

    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
