Let It Snow

As it snows and Chicago is headed to sub zero weather, I ran 2.5 miles today in the comfort of the gym. My back was feeling tight, so I ran 2.5 in 28 minutes flat! Not too shabby.

Generally when I run on the treadmill I watch the Food Network. I have to tell you the Food Network is THE reason to have cable. I watched the Barefoot Contessa make beef bourginon. I find I don't get hungry watching it. I look at it as something pretty to watch.

I want to share a story from a couple days ago....can't wait to hear what some of you think.

A guy walks into our store. He tells me he is going to train for this year's Chicago Marathon. I ask him what made him decide to it...as I am always curious. His answer....are you ready?

"Well I'm 22. If I don't do it now when will I?"

When indeed.

Charlie,

I hope you didn't tell him your story -- he might decide to put it off for another 20 years.

Peace,

LOL...I gave a smirk and a co-worker smiled at me.
