Friday Filler

August 5, 2011

I love mail!
I got a package all the way from Italy the other day! The Black Knight sent goodies from The Elton John and Chicago concerts he saw there. Thank you so much Stefano!
What’s the best concert you ever saw? Journey maybe? No, Springsteen!





What’s better than racing?
Racing in a new skirt! The fruit of my labor (aka the deliveries from my economic stimulation project you may have read about on twitter) have arrived. I’m planning to wear my new skirt (well one of them) at a local 5k tomorrow. It’ll be interesting to see what, if any, 5k abilities I have after struggling through all of this heat.
Are you racing this weekend? Are you a sucker for a good sale?
In my case, yes and yes.


Do you live in one of these areas?
The Fresh Air Fund provides summer vacations for underprivileged kids. Time is running out–Currently 200 children still need a host family and there’s only one week left. If you or someone you know is able to host please click here for more information.




Turning the corner
Our early sunlight is slipping away, and we got a bit of a break in the heat this week. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m getting into back-to-school mode. The kids’ doctor/dentist appointments are done (hallelujah) and I’m checking the last of the school supplies off the list. Although I always loved school and fall is such a beautiful season (heaven knows the running is worlds better!), this time of year always makes me a little sad. Like recess is over. It makes me more aware of the passage of time and how quickly it flies by…and probably the long winter ahead.
Do you enjoy late summer/early fall?

Have a great weekend!
Go Racers!

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
