  2. Wow, 161 miles ran in May with 51 miles just last week!?!?!? That is incredible!!! You ran almost the same number of miles in one week as I run in an entire month!

    How scary to hear about the apartment fire - but so glad to hear that you and CB weren't hurt!

    Congratulations again on your Half Marathon PR!!! Cheers to a great June coming up!!!
