About ME:  (If you are a long time follower of my blog, you may already know these things about me.)

1. I am an avid Mets fan (even when they are losing). I listen to their games whenever I can.
2. I have been mentoring a teenage unwed mom for the past 2 1/2 years.  Her 4 year old son Richard is a joy!  I love Amanda like a daughter.  (She is pregnant again 😦 and due Aug 20.)
3. I have NEVER eaten peanut butter. (That means I’ve never had a P & J sandwich. I don’t even eat Reese’s.)
4. I love to play tennis although I don’t play it as much since I started running almost 3  yrs ago. I used to play everyday now it’s only a once or twice a week. I may even enjoy running more!? But some of my best friends are ones that I met through playing tennis.
5. I spent my junior year of college in Nice, France and taught French for many many years (until I discovered the world of technology – now I’m a geek). I still love anything French and would move to Paris in a heart beat.
6. I am addicted to Mah Jongg.  I have played it for over  2 years on Friday evenings.  It’s a game my mother used to play & no one wants to be like their mother but it’s a lot of fun and it keeps your mind young (I hope).
7.  I have seen Les Miserables (the show) at least 12 times and would see it again if it came to town. I have also read the book & seen the movies but it’s the music that I love!

I read a lot of running blogs.  Here are the ones I’ve chosen:

1. Dutch Girl Gets Healthy
2. Asthma & the Gift of Running
3. Fit & Fabulous After 40
4. Grammie Gets a Life
5. Lee on the Run

They are all inspirational and have something in common…Guess what!

Happy Running!
