Terrific Tuesday

Run Your Butt Off! Intro and Angel's Rest Teaser

Hosted at Bibliophile by the Sea
Every Tuesday, she'll be posting the opening paragraph (maybe two) of her current read. Why don't you join us?

Forward: At the 2010 Chicago Marathon expo, a pair of husband-and-wife runners stop by to introduce themselves. We're chatting, and they appear to be any tow middle-aged runners, excited for the race the next day. But as their story unfolds, it slowly dawns on me that I'm seeing a shadow of their former selves. The wife got started running first, and she tells me she has lost 150 pounds.

"I used my charm and my persuasive abilities and my business acumen to convince Mr. Callahan here to design the cornerstone of our revitalization project."

Sage arched a question brow toward Gabe. "Is that true?"

He rubbed the back of his neck and made a show of considering. After a long moment, he shook his head. "No. She's wrong."

    I'm a runner, so I'd love to read that, but it drives me crazy when people lose a ton of weight from walking or running. I wonder why I can't. Here's Mine

    I really should review the book. it is very beginner but said something that make a bunch of advice click for me and I've been able to progress with my running.

    Most people don't lose a lot of weight, just that those are the ones we hear about!

Thank you!

I have no idea why the captcha thing is showing up. I've got the setting marked "no" that I don't want it. Grrrrrr! But, I believe that if you skip entering anything it will post.
