Alex waiting for his Tamarindo smoothie! I thought when school got out the first week of June that life would slow down.  Didn’t happen.  I know it’s my own fault for wanting to get the most out of my summer but I also envisioned that I would be able to lounge around just a little […]

This morning I met Sue Buehner and we went running, yes running.  My head felt fine but mostly I felt alive to be out in the early morning, 6:00 A.M. no less, and running, then walking when we grew tired, then running again.  I love how running and getting up early and pushing myself to […]
