"Small Miracles"

I think....I'm not 100 percent sure but I think... that last night I slept from midnight until 7 am without getting out of bed! That is a small miracle and the first time it has happened in more than a year.. Maybe again tonite eh?
A slow training day today. I am still tired and sore from yesterdays long run and from the previous days "cross training". It finally dried up enough by late afternoon to allow a short bike ride(35k) and I'm satisfied with that. I have decided to give myself a mental break as well, as I have little enthusiasm for my blog tonite, even though I do feel relatively peaceful.

Janine Grespan will be here tomorrow to interview me. She told me today that the whole deal will be two, 2 1/2 minute clips and I could expect to be about 30 seconds of that....my brief shining moment!

I wish to dedicate day 57 to another small miracle...who else but Daniel Slessor Jr....my new grandnephew!

Happy Birthday Pete!

Last year on this day you were in the hospital waiting and anxious for your feeding tube to be put it in order to facilitate getting through your treatments. This year you are celebrating the fact that you are here to celebrate life. I must say, that through all that adversity, I really was able to be reminded of the reasons why I fell in love with you.

Elly.. congrats again gramma. You really do have a beautiful family and that is a reflection of you. I am proud to know you! (thanks for the reminder Elly--lol)
Live, love and laugh

Roo, you are very very funny...NOT!
And do you mind sharing what those reasons were because I've often wondered and never have figured it out??
