Oh how I hate you, fickle Elevator Mirror. One minute you show nothing but how fabulous I look in my black skinny pants. The next I can see nothing but the three short glaring white hairs standing up on the top of my head. Quit toying with my emotions!

As requested, here’s my sister’s marathon training page. It’s got a log of her training, a photo gallery, and a message about why she’s doing this. She’s running for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and you should definitely toss some money her way (if you’ve got any to spare).
