You must have a 30-hour day to take care of Dori and children. I think you can break 2 hours in the half-marathon. Call me if you are interested in speed work or intervals.<BR/><BR/>Of course your recent posts are great news. Dori, get well soon. You are in our prayers.<BR/><BR/>Chuck HargroveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538770380620139090.post-52896766654928180032007-07-30T12:30:00.000-05:002007-07-30T12:30:00.000-05:00Jim--Sounds like your training is going famously. ...Jim--<BR/>Sounds like your training is going famously. I am impressed!<BR/>We were so very happy to hear the good news about Dori and Nora and Isabella and I lit a candle for Dori after mass yesterday. I did think yesterday's readings were written for her! <BR/>Warm wishes--<BR/>MeredithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538770380620139090.post-28178774231848849642007-07-30T12:18:00.000-05:002007-07-30T12:18:00.000-05:00I can't believe your race is so soon.

Keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>On the other note, I have always found it to be a real parenting challenge, to help kids understand people who look "different" in whatever way. I read something that I thought was very instructive....it said that often our first reaction is to hush up a child who asks a question about a wheelchair, bald person, what have you. But that the better thing to do is always just answer matter-of-factly....ie., Mr. Smith uses that wheelchair to get around because his legs don't work as well as yours....Ms. Jones took some medicine that was so strong, it made her hair fall out, but it will grow back soon.....etc.<BR/><BR/>I try, but sometimes I find that very hard to do. ;)<BR/><BR/>It's always interesting to me, as well, what things children notice and what things they don't. Your son is so thoughtful to be concerned about things like that....I know you all are so proud of both your kids.lcreekmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845125105045059805noreply@blogger.com
