Apparently some are about as active in the blogosphere as I am! I do hope you plan to return to this blog at some point in the not too distant future.You had something special going on here, my friend, and I'd love to read more. Hope you and your family are well, and hope to see a post from you again soon.Kern Windwraithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771591425163484238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917420166802101187.post-69779122675376472752013-06-02T16:22:29.714-07:002013-06-02T16:22:29.714-07:00Congratulations on completing the A-Z Challenge!

I wondered if I would finish it but it was so wonderful to receive encouragement from those who commented - you for one. This gave me the juice to go on ... and my first A-Z done and dusted! I too am not good at finishing what I started, but somehow this has given me the wherewithal to 'just do it'.<br />Thank you for the mention Jer, I really appreciate this. Keep those gorgeous girls whistling using two fingers ...<br /><a href="http://www.gardenofedenblog.com" rel="nofollow">Susan Scott's Soul Stuff</a>Susan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041548718544123557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917420166802101187.post-33495170520393942292013-05-06T17:55:22.621-07:002013-05-06T17:55:22.621-07:00Does running from the police count?

On Wednesday and Saturday I am not satisfied until I actually put the blog online. In like manner, I was able to write the last missive for my critique group after reading a blog that said stop reading FB and write. Not just posting but I feel an obligation to bring my A game; everyone else is so good. Fun and a cool way to meet some others who share the passion for writing.<br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Hating runners. Not finishing projects. Sometimes I worry that the latter is going to rub off on my children. I really need to change my ways.<br /><br />So, I don't really hate runners. I wish I could--run, not hate, but I was never meant to be an athlete. Runner or otherwise. Our local marathon is a few weeks away and my 8 year old really wants to run. He has obviously gotten his sports minded genes from my husband. The youth run is not good enough for my son though. He wanted to to do the 10K.<br /><br />Since the US never got into the metric thing (I could've sworn in my high school years they talked about adding metric numbers to traffic signage), I googled a metric to mile converter and promptly said no. 6 miles is too long.<br /><br />The 5K. That he can probably do. And of course he wanted me to 'run' it with him. Even after I explained he will get ahead of me because I can hardly jog for a mile and will then have to walk.<br /><br />Now, since I've never paid much attention to the marathon thing, I wasn't aware that there were fees. So technically my son is the only one signed up to run the 5K, for $20. I am saving myself $30 by following along on sidewalks. No, I won't get a fancy t-shirt or my name/number recorded with my finish time in some marathon book, but I really don't care. <br /><br />The race is at one of our local universities, and I'm thinking I'm gonna have to take some shortcuts, so my son will be shocked when he sees me at the finish line before him. That might be kind of fun. Now all I have to do is print out the race map and figure this out. Might be one project I will finish. :)Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917420166802101187.post-4023155335438976502013-05-03T21:40:13.558-07:002013-05-03T21:40:13.558-07:00You rock, Ricky!

Yes, at the end, it's been like one foot in front of the other with all strategies out the ever-lovin' window. I'm grateful for this challenge because it has been, finally, a beautiful museum for your masterpieces that, heretofore, have been under lock and key in that deep and utterly delightfully observational brain of yours. You ARE a writer, one of the truest sort, and I am blessed that you call ME "coach." Your writing has been a pure pleasure to read, and now that our daily writing responsibility is behind us, perhaps you will be able to toss out an occasional weekly blog from time to time to keep your number 1 fan satiated. :)<br /><br />Sooooo sad to see this challenge end (and yet not).<br /><br />Dana<br /><a href="http://www.danamartinwriting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Waiter, drink please!</a><br />Dana Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572600397353343386noreply@blogger.com
