    @Camaramandy648 I was thinking we ought to put together something for Kristi, I’m glad you brought it up. I was wondering if I could bug my husband to make an ebook like he’s been making for my races, and we could get people to submit entries for it. The program he uses will actually make a proper ebook that can be read on a kindle, etc.
    I love this idea. If your husband or someone else is willing to do it, just let us know where we can send our pictures & stories!

    Okay first of all, I have so many people in Texas, I had no idea! From the RTY group and here! We seriously need to make a thing and do a group run over a weekend or something. I swear, I'm not a murderer and I am a damn good cook. ;)

    @rheddmobile that would be freaking amazing! I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all this info over to Kristi - one by one, so far - which might be overwhelming for her.

    @Mari33a you can be on my team if you want, if @rheddmobile knows how to set it up, I have no clue. And @rheddmobile I am in TN every single year and go right through Memphis! Seriously. !!!

    And @Tramboman my sister is in Youngstown, OH!

    Lord. Small world.

    Okay, I will get all these acts over to Kristi. She'll love knowing. :)

    @hanlonsk. That snow is crazy!

    @Faebert So funny to imagine the little kids running around! Hope it goes as smoothly/coordinated as possible!

    VM for @PastorVincent – 17.03/26.2 miles

    I used my Amphipod Versa-Lite Max clip-on light for the first mile of my run this morning. At first I clipped it onto my ball cap. It worked fine if I was looking straight down at the ground but holding my head normal the light projected upward toward the sky which wasn’t very helpful. I moved it down and clipped it onto the waistband of my running skirt and it worked much better. The clip kept it in place – no bouncing around and it provided just enough light that I could see where I was going. I purchased it at REI and it was a little pricey at $35. It came with a USB charging cord. Hopefully, it will serve me for a long time!

    @cameramandy – I’m located in southwest Virginia in the corner where Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia all come together.

    @shanaber – Beautiful pictures!

    @hanlonsk – Brrr! I got a cold chill just looking at those pictures! It must have been a heavy, wet snow to be laying on the trees like that. I hope it all melts soon!

    @Faebert – Sounds like a fun challenge getting the 5-year olds to run and not run into each other! Sweet!

    Congratulations @eleanorhawkins!!!

    Beautiful sky indeed @RunsOnEspresso!

    @rheddmobile – thank you to you AND your hubby for everything you’re doing to make this challenge not only happen but to make something memorable for Kristi and their son to treasure. Thank you!!

    Wow @shanaber that is amazing picture of the hawk, sweet Hobbs. Great acts of kindness.

    Great act of kindness @HonuNui I hate when people ask to get in front of me, if I have a lot I usually let them go but I’m with you walk down to the self checkout or express don’t ask to get in front of me when you have those options. We (not me) call them buggies in Alabama. I call them carts.

    Sweet @marisap2010

    @hanlonsk I gotta say I can do without your summer, so please keep it up there.

    @Faebert I love the mile run and the couch to 5K for the kids, what a great idea. I’d love to watch them. Our high school T&F team has a track meet every year for our 7th and 8th graders that feed into our high school, the kids train in the events all year in gym class. When Skip was in 9th grade the PE teacher was her track coach and she had the kids run a mile once a week, the first week all the football players and guys were blah blah how great they were, she told Skip wait until halfway and show them. She ran like a 6:02 mile and the boys never spoke again, the boy leading she made up almost a whole lap to catch him. Ha ha

    @quilteryoyo our minds are in the same place…is not killing someone being kind ha ha

    Beautiful sunrise @RunsOnEspresso

    @rheddmobile thanks for the shout out and the picture, I love it.
