HOWDY HOWDY!!!! I never talk to people anymore, so just dropping in to see how you are doing!

Kelli - thanks for saying hi. I don't spend much time on FRB anymore - two jobs is taking most of my free time and I've been pretty half hearted about working out.

How are things going? Doing okay? Running well?

I know, I never have the time either---so I am wasting it right now touching bases with everyone I love!

I did not know you were working two jobs. YIKES, I have a hard enough time with one part time job!

I am good. Just barely getting back to running after this darn nagging injury and physical therapy. I did not take a ton of time off completely, but I have felt NOT RIGHT since that darn 50!!! I should have stopped then and there and let it heal. But, you know how we are!

Yeah - in addition to my day job where I do product management and am a database administrator (50-65 hours or so each week), I have worked since January as the head of Quality Assurance for a start-up company that develops functionality apps for Kindles.

Keeps me busy. I usually take a couple of breaks between jobs and during the evening to work out - but am enjoying the work challenges right now.

Hope you get over your injuries. I am still in awe of your 50 Miler.

I think the 50 miler has ruined me!!!!

Scott wants a Kindle for Father's Day. I am currently pricing them!

How have things been this weekend Maurine? Hope all is well.

Working way too much, Rachel. But it is my day job that is frustrating me right now. Need to get back to having exercise as a priority.
