:) once long long ago I did run with her. i'm glad she still remembers the little people now that she's a super star.

last year, more people were killed by automobile accidents, heart attacks, lung cancer, and natural causes combined than by any one tomato.

merri, will i ever get a chance to run with you?

once allie & I did run together. she just doesn't remember it. we even rode on the same bus. it was a cool crisp morning in 2008. :) she won the tou marathon that race. I ran with her for about 2 seconds.

For sure lets run together! My hubs is done with school after June 18th, and he has a few weekends off here and there before then. But don't you live in the north pole or something. :)

oh, right. 2008. i remember you were way nervous to sing the national anthem, but you ended up doing great (except when your voice cracked on the word 'wave'). and i think that was the same year that we dumped all the raw meat into the big gatorade coolers at the start line. i miss 2008.

i am heading your way june 18th. me, you and lily can run to one man band.

seriously we are going to get together for a run. :)

From Merri on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 20:42:42 from 160.7.252.148

But I'll warn you I am a wuss and haven't run outside in a while and only starting to get faster.

From Burt on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 21:09:32 from 206.19.214.144

Okay! I'm not here! Just go ahead and invite the whole world on your group run except for me. No, no. It's cool.

From allie on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 21:11:46 from 174.23.192.205

From allie on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 21:14:22 from 174.23.192.205

merri - whatever you do, don't tell burt about this run. don't. tell. burt.

From Merri on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 22:50:46 from 160.7.252.148

I wont say a word to burt. I know how he is. if you need to recognize me when we meet just check my profile picture. I am the one holding the baby, and when I meet you I will be holding a single long stemmed red rose.

From Lily on Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 11:31:02 from 67.199.178.210

When we all meet, I will be the one holding my asprin. :)

I am reading this Merri and it's a miracle! I AM GETTING BETTER WAHOOOOOOo!

Let's all run together in June when it's warm outside. River trail loop 3 times, I will be blindfolded and you two will follow me blindly :)
