stuff ’round the mill
“Listen to your body. Do not be a blind and deaf tenant.”
-Dr. George Sheehan
Dr. Sheehan may be right about this but I want to warn you don’t let your body talk to you out loud; folks will begin to avoid you! There have been times around my home when someone yells “dads talkin’ to his self again!” Grammie will yell something like “he only ran a few hours this morning, tell him to go outside and run a few hours, he’ll shut up by the time the sun goes down!” Tell your body to at least keep it down to a whisper! And don’t be touching yourself, or looking at yourself in a mirror too much or folks will REALLY worry about and stay away from you!
Our bodies need and deserve a ton of exercise and sunshine, but everything must be kept in a healthful prospective. Sometimes it’s hard to know the difference between being tired and being lazy. Learning that difference, between tired and lazy, makes ALL the difference in your training and progress and fun.
The absolutely fantastic news is SCOTT EWING was selected in the NYC Marathon lottery! I absolutely love and admire Scott for ALLLL the marvelous works he does for our community! He truly deserves the hard work, the hard training, the stress and frustration, and the GLORIOUS SATISFACTION of running the New York Marathon! Oh boy, the bad news is there is now a good chance the entire Manhattan Island may now sink, it’s surely a goner now…
There is a rumor that the Silvernale’s are attempting to escape Monroe County. WE ALL HOPE YOU FAIL INGRID AND JEFF! YOU’RE LOVED, NEEDED, AND WANTED HERE!! Put the word out, nobody buys their house! Who is the realtor, we gotta have a have a talk with her/him!
I haven’t found the results for 5TH ANNUAL JOSH MILLER 5K RUN/WALK yet. I’ll send them when I can. It was a GREAT morning for racing and for our community as well as the Miller family! For those that couldn’t make it, WE MISSED YOU!
