After spending almost a week with Jan she felt compelled to blog about me again. Hope you have a great laugh...at my expense :)
Jan's Guest Blog #2
Well it’s me again….Guest blogger, running friend, laughing
buddy and loyal critic.
So let’s get right to that last role. When I first
wrote I talked about Sue’s repeated references about death. Well…she is
not doing that as of late. In fact, as I have run with her more and this
past week vacationed with her….I feel I know and understand her much more.
So here are a few updates from a guest bloggers point of
view.
Sue is an eternal optimist….very refreshing to see. She is a peppy and positive person. She is such a peppy person that I now have caught something that she does….and she didn’t even realize she did it. She is a Whistler!!!!! Yes, you heard it….a Whistler. No not Whistler’s mother….actually THE whistler. I think it is her way of sharing a positive aura for those around her. I am thinking if her other friends have noted this “habit” of hers, and you feel the same as I do about “it’s nice but I wish her pitch were more on key” then maybe you can help as I stage an intervention.
Another thing I have learned about Sue and her
running. She is very focused…..while she may complain about her coach…she
is truly following her advice. She is very fast….in fact so fast…that she
breaks into a sweat. Seriously….she is a great Sweater. No…not the
kind that keeps you warm…the kind that drips water. I have never seen
anyone perspire like her. I am so jealous as sweating is one of the more
healthy things one can do. I do know that this sweating is a result of the
enormous amount of water she drinks when running. She got a new water
belt to wear when running and it has 3 bottles attached. (mine only has
2) Anyway…she sucks down the 3 bottles within her first few miles.
I had a suggestion that I think she may adopt and that is to tie a gallon jug
on each side of her waist and run with that. Picture Sue….smiling,
whistling and SWEATING. She definitely gets lots of attention on the
lakefront trail.
I have a new nickname for her…..Sweaty. Maybe she will
tell you what my nickname is…..
And the last thing I will say I have learned about Sue….is
what a good mother she is. Gabrielle is the best daughter ever and I love
to see how close the two of them are. The two of them were guests of ours
in Naples this past week and Doug and I thoroughly enjoyed having them.
We hope they will come back.
OOPs…one other thing I learned about Sue….she desperately
needs donations to reach her goal for the RMHC Marathon. She set a lofty
goal (so Sue!) and is working hard to achieve it…..won’t you help her?????
