Live’n the dream baby
One day last week, I asked one of the woman at the bus stop how she was doing. You know when you start up a conversation with someone you don’t relaly know, you care but only a little.
Her response made me laugh, for so many reasons. And then I said to her, I’m going to start using that. For the past three days, whenever anyone asks me how I am, I respond, “Live’n the dream!”
Try it. It makes those asking the question stop to think for a second about what you really just said and then it typically elicits a laugh. Which is the best part of the whole deal.

The first race of the season was kicked off yesterday in between the slow roasting of a pork shoulder and PJ’s birthday party.
Katie, Laura and I headed out to Wayzata to run the Lake Minnetonka half marathon. This photo was taken just before we shut the doors to the car and walked to the start line.
The race went well for all of us yesterday. If I remember correctly, Katie is already talking about a spring marathon next year…let’s get planning!
I went into the race just wanting to run well, whatever that meant for the day. I felt really good all they way around and ended up with a PR, coming in at 1:47. That’s 4 minutes off my best race! Needless to say, I’m thrilled
