Sneak your way up to the front of the pack and I’ll watch for you on TV. Make sure you Tweet your number. In fact you should tweet everyone from the race so we can feel your pain…uhmm, I mean excitement. You go girl!Brian Moloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849274639037366384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101100994610518373.post-59390003447295291252012-08-14T11:34:15.826-04:002012-08-14T11:34:15.826-04:00the rain finally arrived this morning, just as we ...the rain finally arrived this morning, just as we were planning an afternoon in the pool. and, of course, after giving lots of blood to the mosquitoes while watering the gardens late yesterday afternoon... the flowers looked much happier this morning.<br />as for running, i was doing great in prep for the marathon, even with the heavy air but have found myself in the grips of bronchitis for the past few weeks. more meds and i am hoping to lace up on monday... i may come in dead last on marathon day, but i will crawl to that finish line. (my mindset these days...) maybe the locusts can carry me. nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315082772938694523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101100994610518373.post-61040888031752031582012-08-13T19:22:24.822-04:002012-08-13T19:22:24.822-04:00Hey, nice to hear from you, Nicole.

There’s still quite a ways to go.
