Running in the rain!

So, this morning I woke up at 5 AM. I went and ran with the local running club. It was raining, but not bad. I forgot how much I love to run in the rain. I ran for about 45 minutes. I'm not sure of the distance, though. But, it felt good. Most normal people shield themselves from the rain with an umbrella, but not me. Instead, this morning I frolicked in the rain like an 8 year old. I wore my Nike running hat to keep the rain out of my eyes. When I was done, I was soaked. My shoes were squishy, and they made noise with each step. It was awesome!

I definitely got my running legs back. Thank God!

Hmmmmm... Smurfette, huh?? I think you are Azul's mom, but I'm not sure. Who ever you are, thanks for the kind words!! Yep, I'm still the same loud mouthed midget who says things that should probably be censored. I'm glad you enjoy my blog-- after all, that's it's purpose. I created it so people could laugh at me and my silly adventures here in the land of the rising sun. Keep reading and thanks for your comment...Smurfette!

By the way, let me know if you are Azul's mom. Thanks!

Awesome! It is so good to hear from you! Tell all of the kiddos I said hello or rather...Konichiwa! Wow! Sounds like the family is doing great! I bet you are so proud of them! I always knew those kiddos would do great things! I can't believe y'all are getting ready to retire soon. Boy, time flies! My parents retired a few year ago. They now live in Rockport near Corpus Christi. My dad goes fishing almost everyday and my mom shops for stuff for Jude. Jude is their only grandchild, so they spoil him beyond belief. I'll tell them we chatted. I'm sure they would love to hear about your family. Do y'all still live on the East Side? How are things there now since Ike?? Do you have power, water, food???
