I thought today was the day I was supposed to go easy because of an upcoming track workout, but it was tomorrow!  Oh well, I guess I'll just have 2 easy days in a row now.

Oh, and I met with Coach Rick Lovett today, who has written 2 books with Alberto Salazar! Very nice meeting and discussion with him.

You're a legend yourself.

You're so cute, Burt. Well, at least I'm a legend in the mind of 4 people. My little ones are still young enough that they are confident I'm the best mama in the world, the fastest runner, and the most beautiful woman. :-) It's great being Mommy!!
