22 girls!

I must admit I had a massive amount of fear and anxiety as the Girls on the Run registrations came rolling in one after another. Our nice manageable group of 9 last year was looking a lot bigger this year. I set the cap at 16, then another came in, then another and another. I just have a hard time telling the girls no, especially when I know how much they will get out of the program & experience. So, here we are with 22 girls - and it was a blast! I am a little horse & it will be very different than last year but hey, who's to say that different is bad?

OUCH

I guess karma bit me in the butt for enjoying my neighbor's frustration - I seem to have tweaked a spot in my back. I then ignored the tweaked spot and went for a harder run. I am now facing an all out back issue. I can't seem to turn my head or raise my arms. I would love this to be a good excuse to lay in bed all day but alas, laying down is the MOST uncomfortable position to be in! GRRR!

Yardsign Wars

I don't usually post about politics or other non-workout topics but this has me giggling lately so I thought I would share. It began with our neighbors 2 & 3 houses up putting up yard signs for their party (hint, it rhymes with complain & Van Halen), so my next door neighbor put up her sign for the other party. She also got a sign for us for the other party. The up the street neighbor's signs started to multiply. They now each have 4 or 5 signs.
When one of the neighbors with the 4 or 5 signs was out walking the other day while Paul was out front he made a snide comment about our signs & how 'you teachers are all alike!' Funny that they can put up all the signs they want but we put up one yard sign and he got genuinely mad. Not to mention the fact that neither Paul nor I are teachers . . .
