ok two things..real quick...

No 1. i realized that i mentioned that i am planning to run the bolder boulder this year. i have as of this second 87 days, 19 hours, 1 min, 41 seconds...40, 39, 38, 37...you get the idea. i think you are due an update of my slow and somewhat shaky progress. i started out not being able to run more than one and half minutes before having to walk one in between! I now can proudly say i can run 5 minutes with 1 - 2 min walking in between...almost indefinitely...which, if by indefinitely you interpret that to mean a half an hour then you are dead on! so let's do some math. yippee! the bolder boulder is a 10K or 6.2 mile course. i can run for about 2 miles - in 30 minutes which equals SLOW! so in 87 days, 18 hours, 57 min, 39 seconds, 38, 37, 36...i have to increase my mileage 200% and my speed so that i am not rudely, but justly, KICKED OFF the course so that the "professional" (read speedy) runners can do what the days is all about - race, not hope and pray just to make it to the end!

No 2. i read this on a friend's blog and thought that my non-mutual friends would also benefit from this humorous story:

starbucks closes to learn how to make coffee.

yep it's true, you have been paying $3.50 for a latte that wasn't really a latte...apparently?
