A costly mistake

Taking a rest at St. Mary’s Cemetery to visit my parents.  Saturday morning was so gorgeous that instead of heading to the gym like we had been doing, Al and I each decided to head outside for a run. My goal? I wanted to get in a 10K (6.2 miles). It was so nice, I had to take advantage of getting in that distance outside … Continue reading A costly mistake

This was our third time at this race. It’s a favorite. PICTURE: At the starting line.  My immediate thought was, “Yes, pacers!” And then I … Continue reading I gave up

A little scary

So after my parents died, I didn’t think I would see the inside of an emergency room for quite some time. Guess I was wrong. I’ve been there twice since Saturday night. The picture is from the second time. After a week of not seeing my husband that much because of work, I was so looking forward to Saturday night and our usual “Date Night.” … Continue reading A little scary
