When worlds collide

When the scientist in me (Ph.D. in Microbiology) meets the adult educator in me (Manager, Leadership Development) meets the person who want to be physically fit (Marathoner), you get something like my last blog. Boring!

I really hate that I missed last Saturday and now will miss this one as well. However, I will be in Colorado, seeing my grandson for only the second time since he was born last October, so I am not really complaining!

I will walk in the mountains on Saturday. It'll be interesting to see how I do in the altitude. It's a five mile down hill road from our house to the main highway, (8300 feet above sea level) so I'll probably try to run some of 3.5 miles downhill, then walk back uphill. Huff, puff !!


My first grandchild! Isaac

Our home in Colorado

Clark's daughter lives in Boulder. We will be going there for her wedding June 2. I'm anxious to see how the altitude affects me during training while I am there! Let me know how you do!

Isaac is gorgeous, er-r-r, handsome! I called one of your other blogs "scientific" and now I know why! You are a scientist! Have fun just being a marathoning grandma this weekend. We'll miss you...keep on blogging!
