Posted: March 14, 2012 Filed under: Family Leave a commentKatrina came home for her birthday weekend. She wanted to experience her “brother’s” restaurant – Nava will now forever be known as Gabe’s restaurant – so we took her there for dinner. We enjoyed the most wonderful meal with the most precious attention to detail from Executive Chef Ryan, General Manager John and the supporting staff.

Sure, I have run 6.2 miles before, but not in a race and not with a sweet 10.35 mile PR. I’m shooting for a 9.something mile for the Peachtree. With this race, RV and I are sticking to our commitment to run in 12 races in 2012.
On Saturday, Feb. 11, we ran the Marietta Mardi Gras 5K. That race was particularly special because I was running to honor Sherry Arnold.
This beloved mother, wife and educator was abducted during an early morning run in Montana on Jan. 7. Hundreds of mother runners across the country ran in her memory that Saturday, and I am glad that I was one of them.
