Congrats on doing the Ironman. My dad was a huge triathalon/distance runner until a glioblastoma took him away from us in December. He would not have liked that run, with snow swirling around, but would’ve been smiling anyway. He was that kind of guy, always a half full glass and enjoying the endorphins from running.

It makes this crappy spring all the more hard. I get my endorphins from working my rear end off in the garden.

Love ‘Velocity Twins’! Hubby and I have a 14 y/o son, he’s not into the running thing though, no matter how much his grandpa tried.

To stay on topic, my mom who lives with us now has a bunch of Kennedy half dollars. Think they’ll sprout if I plant ‘em? :)

My condolences. There's a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon you might like, btw.

The MN Ironman is strictly a bike ride, however.

It worked for Uncle Andrew in The Magician's Nephew. Poor old Brandy!

Cheers!
