nice run.  cool weather is wonderful.  ran with wyatt.  lots of reasons to stop & walk once in a while.  one of them was my knee.  not 100% yet.  I know I'm asking too much too soon....but can't a pirate dream?

Wore my flourescent green fishnet stockings as we ran along the country farm roads.  Hey, it was my halloween run!  The annual halloween hustle was cancelled this year.  :-(

Avg pace 10:09 (just for the running parts).  New motto for the race:  more fun, less run.  That's my goal.  I seem to have no conrol over my knee at this point, so the only thing I do have control over is my attitude. 

I'm really happy they have 7-11's near the race.  None near where I live, so I'm looking forward to a slurpee & maybe some icky chili cheese nachos....or dare I even dream of a chili cheese dog?????    Back to my dreams again....  now I feel more like Kermit the frog.  The lovers, the dreamers, and me.....

QP - hope you can do the race without knee problems. As I told your sister, good time for you two to just enjoy the time together with you both having issues. Your right on with the attitude, big attitude adjustment when things don't go as planned. When given lemons, make lemonade.

Stay Kool, B of bS Rool out

It must have been the green stockings that made you feel like Kermit. I got green food coloring all over my hand yesterday and felt like I was turning into Elphaba from Wicked.

Good luck with the knee.

Did the flourescent green help you to run faster? I hear it does.

Brent- thanks for the words of support & encouragement. I know what I need to do, it just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth...like someone peed in my lemonade.

Carolyn- I never noticed the green tights/kermit connection. Of course it makes sense! I've never seen Wicked. Hope to catch it on Broadway someday. I've heard it's wonderful.

Burt- Green helps me do a lot of things better & faster. Unfortunately, running isn't one of them ;-)
