$3 Water and an Inspiring Story

Yesterday morning I headed into the gym. First things first - I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and felt really good.

Before I went upstairs for my run, I stopped at the new and improved juice bar. I went into the fridge andgot a bottle of water. The guy asked me if I wanted that, because it was $3. HUH??? He went andgot me the $1 water. I said, "For$3 dollars, there better be some gold in that water." Geesh!

Also yesterday - I read an article in the paper about Gulf War vets who participated in the Chicago Triathlon over the weekend. These are disabled men, who have trained hard, and overcome a lot to be in the triathlon. One guy completed the course in over 2 1/2 hours. WOW! Really puts me toshame when I think about stopping a run at 2 miles.
