Nothing picks me up more than running. I actually only put in only 5.5 miles last night. Left the house a little later in the evening than I wanted. Wednesday is busy night - two Basketball practises, and Scouts for the oldest two. Anyway, nice relaxing run after the first mile or so. It had been since Saturdays 11.5 miles. I did a fair amount of stretches before. Yet, in the first mile or so - some very interesting popping and crunching sounds from my feet to my hips. Is it possible I am getting too old for this? Nah. I might need to give my body a longer post Surf City break than my last post run recovery. After all the crunching sounds went away (never any pain) it settled into a very nice run.
My wife feels pacified about things with work since Monday. At least for the time being. We both feel changes are possible one way or the other in the distant future. I am just very proud of her. Honest, integrity and professionalism.
Well, at least for the time being or unless something else pops up; we are here for now. It would be really hard to uproot the kids midway through the school year. It is possible too look at other things here in town. Yet, as I stated before, Vegas is not the best for us. Vegas is what it is. Although our kids call this place home now. That has a very big impact on anything we do.

Hi Slomo! Hope all is well. It sounds like you guys are still having a tough go at the whole "should we stay or should we go thing". It will all work out in the end....
Watch out for that popping and crunching! :)
your blog always picks me up. :-) Good luck at your half marathon. this was one I'd been thinking about and now I'm sorry I'm not running it.
