Civic duty: Time to exercise, folks. Not your body, this time - but your right to vote! Have you voted yet? Take advantage of this privilege that we so often take for granted.

"It's just you and the pavement," he stated. Well said.
Speaking of pain: I went for my first run post-Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday. 8 miles. Easy, right? The first three were. But the last five - on a course that included a couple of hills - made my legs and even arms sore. Note to self: Schedule massage ...

ReplyDeleteEver heard about them high hills of Dallas? No wonder I'm slow ...
