No really, at least you're trying. I didn't have a good day running today and with a month to go til the marathon, I keep trying to tell my shaped and chiseled bod that I'm not 55 yrs. old but it laughs at me. And then I have friends who laugh at me and my goal, telling me what a great lunch they had as I'm chowing down on hard boiled eggs and turkey lunch meat. Maybe people like us should start a walking club....but in my case, I'll leave the chewing gum at home for obvious reasons. <br /><br />MBFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-35000323538430468622012-09-05T13:53:53.325-05:002012-09-05T13:53:53.325-05:00OK, am ready to head over, but have to say that th...OK, am ready to head over, but have to say that the head on that racket looks way too small for serious business.

This was a great funny read to start my day. <br />My husband and I bought rackets from a garage sale years ago. Swearing we were going to start playing tennis together. (neither one of us are tennis players) We have yet to do it...........Maybe you have inspired me. I'll let ya know. ;)J.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17127301827412234029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-10856125464180755612012-09-05T10:28:23.902-05:002012-09-05T10:28:23.902-05:00This was a great read.

The first half of the summer was the beginner level and the second half was advanced. I had to repeat the beginner level and never made it to advanced...haha! I haven't really played tennis since.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962091404264725580noreply@blogger.com
