Bruce!
I woke up this morning with the Bruce Springsteen song “No Surrender” in my head.
We made a promise we swore we’d remember
No retreat, believe me, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter’s night with a vow to defend
No retreat, believe me, no surrender
I could probably preach a sermon on the lyrics. What do they mean to you?
Conan
Conan O’Brien gets $33 million dollars to quit his job…
I’m taking offers.
Daughter Anna
I’m so proud of my daughter Anna. We’re running together in the Country Music Half Marathon. I’ve got a lot of work to do so she won’t embarrass me. Check out her progress http://www.ageldridge.blogspot.com.
Haiti
I’m proud of Americans for stepping up and contributing to Haiti Earthquake Relief. I’m worried about that country’s infrastructure and their ability to help their own people after aid stops.
204.0
That’s what I weighted when I got on the scales this morning. On this day last year I weighted 172 pounds. I’ve been using the excuse of a herniated disk that’s kept me from running. The time for excuses is over. I can’t blame my back for the ice cream after supper and the snickers bars after lunch. I’ve pretty much recovered. It’s time to hit the road! I think I can get down to 180 by the Country Music Half Marathon. OK guys, hold me accountable. Drop me an email at markruns.eldridge@gmail.com.
