Gotta write it down!

Today was pretty good, except for the unexpected rain during my mom's race.  It was her 57th birthday and she STILL participated in a race. GO MOM,  pretty excellent I think, and maybe next time, if they have it, I will race too.  Eventually I want to be running 3-5 miles a day...I definetely think I can do it, it's just going to take some time and conditioning.  But seeing all those people run today really made me think, if there's 50-somethings that are running 5k's like it's nothing, there is no reason why I cannot do it.  SO that means new goal, although it will be an eventual goal.  Find a race, train for it, and finish.  Regardless of the place I get, it's something to work to that has a set date and will be a stepping-stone in what should be, a life time goal.  I dunno, whatevs...i better stick with it.

On another note, I saw an old 50's movie called The Third Man, and it was awesome.  Orson Wells is (was) a bad ass actor for sure.  Which brings me to the horribly timed death of my camera.  RIP Canon digital elph.  You were good to me.  Also, RIP Steve Mcnair.  Too many deaths lately...too many.

Also, GO AMERICA.  Hopefully North Korea and Iran will chill out for a while....
