In a Nutshell.....

                                                                    Boston Strong


A few things in a nutshell (pictures below):

1. Missed first graders.
2. Getting stronger...body and emotionally.
3. Loving my new water bottle from my bro Stuart (he's so good to me....love presents...but it's wonderful to give them too:)).
4. Check out J. Ashley and her beautiful selection of Boston Strong necklaces. She's a local gal from Stoughton, who is friendly with my sister-in-law Cindy (married to Stu). $5.00 of the proceeds go to the 1 Fund Boston (more info about the fund, see sidebar). Cindy and I already ordered! 


For the love of Boston and sneakers!   The cover of OUR Boston magazine....BRILLIANT!!

                         LOVE my bottle, especially the message:) LOL

Getting stronger with lower weights with multiple reps. Gina and I are still on the planks kick. She is beating me at 4 min holding a forearm plank. I've only made it to 2.5 min, BUT I'm up to 15 push-up's (angled on a bench). I may have warrior/smile lines on my face (otherwise known as wrinkles), but the body is holding strong!

 

The kids wondered why I didn't show on Mon. Some knew that I was at the marathon. 

  Four of them are huddled under my hair! :) 

 

 

Coming up next....a weekend in Newport, RI.  On Saturday, I'll drive to Middletown to stay with Nancy and her folks at their B & B. Nancy and I are running the

Newport 10 Miler on Sunday! We're very excited! When I heard Nancy's voicemail after the horror, I broke down. I can't wait to see her! Actually, she saw my friend Dave (Chicago) at mile 7 and took some great pics! I'm not looking for a PR, just to enjoy the course and be at peace.
