Apparently, I was overreacting about the swoosh on my shoes. Today, I ran five miles in them for the first time, and they were fine! I didn’t notice anything. Dang, I’m turning into as big of a drama queen as my sister. God forbid!

Very very very sad news. Jennifer’s mom passed away yesterday. My mom called me last night to tell me. I was very sad for Jennifer. I only met her mom a few times, and she was a very nice woman. About a week before she got sick, she sent me a donation. Ironic, that she died of a blood disease. I think for the marathon I’m going to pin ribbons to my shirt of people who had blood diseases. And even if Jennifer’s mom didn’t have leukemia or lymphoma, I’m still going to wear a ribbon in her memory. Anyway, I feel terrible for Jennifer. She’s such a strong, caring, amazing person, I hate for anything bad to happen to her. My heart aches for her. And for her brother. And for my brother, for that matter. Sigh.
