....One of Noah's cute phrases - oftentimes when we're counting down something (such as bites of vegetables he has left at dinner before he can be done), no matter how many are left, he'll blurt out, "two more!" Two more days left in May and on our official streak (well, my 5k is actually on Saturday, but Noah would still say, "two more!")....I feel like it's been a bit disjointed here this year and certainly very fast. I'll try to get a good, long post in tomorrow or Friday to put things in perspective from my point of view, but not tonight! I'm tired! My legs are sore and I didn't stop today until 9pm (had to get half the lawn mowed this evening as I didn't want to do it all on Saturday). I'll be relieved when the steak is over - takes the pressure off....for example, I had a client dinner to go to last night right after work. We ended up at a nice steakhouse in town - I'm not looking for sympathy, but it's hard to eat "light" at these places and I did indulge in a Sam Adams, as well. I got home a little before 9, changed and hit the pavement (Noah had already gone to bed). So, with a full stomach and a fine lager (Jim Cook, if you're reading, consider this a "plug"!) sloshing around in my belly, I ran through the neighborhood which I hadn't realized is incredibly dark after dusk! No street lights and pretty far outside the bright lights of the big city....I could hardly see. But, I survived to tell about it. And, it only takes a moment to think about why we do this each May and then it's quite easy to push through whatever inconvenience or discomfort arises and make it happen...the 2 1/2 year old light of my life does it everyday!
Thank you for all of the donations to CHASA in support of our streak - I'm certain we'll hit our lofty goal because of all of you!
