Out of the Mouths of Babes

JNephew (the one on the bottom): "Auntie, you're strong because you exercise a lot, right?"

Says the boy who was not even 2 at my first tri but who totally "got it,", who used to see my running shoes and say "Auntie Runs," who (with his Mom) coined the phrase "Auntie Rocks."

Yes, boo boo boy, I'm strong because I exercise, and I promise to get stronger. And fitter. And healthier. So I can be around to answer every question you and your brother have (especially those ones you don't want to ask Mama and Dada) for a long long long time.

Dinner Last Night, or, Mojo Part Deux

My sister sent me the following email, titled "Dinner Last Night"

Jxxxxx: "Where is Auntie going to sit when she gets home?"

I just adore my big boy :-)

Mojo?

A weekend with *the* boys;

A really good feeling yet hilly long run Saturday morning;

A new yoga studio;

A warmish late winter day.

*Maybe* its back. Shhhhhhh, don't scare it :-)
