Good morning all ..........
It's watcha call a crisp one out there today. I heard near the lakefront (Lake Michigan) it was 53 degrees at 7:30am. By me (30-miles from there) it was 42 degrees ......... gettin chilly!!!!!
This morning, I believe at 7:30am, the Chicago Marathon started ... listened to it on the radio for 20-minutes or so. I believe they said there were 10,000 foreign athletes who came ... and I know the local population really supports this every year - especially as it's getting close to the 26-mile ending.
My youngest daughter ran her first half marathon (13-miles) last month. She lives in or close to the area where it's happening ... so I'm guessing she will be at least a finish line spectator later today. Can't picture her getting up at 7am on a Sunday though. I know her goal is to run it next year or the year after.
Gizzy's drive was uneventful this morning - saw two dogs .... BUT, in about 2-hours, we're going to meet a few people from the Samoyed Rescue Group ....... stand in front of the local Petsmart ..... and harass everyone into contributing money for the rescue operation (just kidding on the harass).
There should be 4 or 5 Samoyeds there with their owners - passing out literature and getting the Samoyeds involved with licking the little kids and standing there to be petted. Giz is afraid of the adults, likes the littlew kids and lives the dogs there ..... any kind - because just about any kind walk thru the Petsmart in a 3-hour period.
I hope this day finds everyone doing well, and if needed, healing well!
Hey ....... we're all healing well ... HW!!!!!!!
Rob and Giz
