Ya know, it's really hard to teach kids about fire safety when teachers keep contradicting you, telling you you're wrong 'cause that's not what their fire marshall grandpa told them when they were little. Ever think that things might have changed in the past 30 years? They seemed to think I was pretty incompetent when it came to pre-k kids as well. At least the kids liked practicing escaping from a fire by crawling low under a blanket. Whether or not their teachers were acting like idiots is not my problem.

I can't wait to get back to running. Maybe this is why I stopped running marathons for awhile, I hate taking time off from training to recover.

Maybe it's just the rain that's putting me in a bad mood. Rain, begone!

I would be pretty frustrated with them too if that was how it went. Was this today?

Keep your head up--you're doing awesome and I know how badly you want to break 4. I'll be there for you every step of the way. :-) Before, during, and well after NCR. :-)

Yesterday morning. I've made the executive decision to send a Red Cross volunteer down there if they want another presentation, though I doubt they will. That teacher wasn't the only way they made me feel unwelcome.

But onwards and upwards.

Like I said last night, it's a thankless job you have, and you're gonna run into people who make you feel unwelcome no matter what. And like you said, you've had some great experiences too.

Did you get my e-mail?
