| October 31, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
On Saturday I joined Birthday Gals Cyd Ross and Funder on a half marathon in the redwood park in Oakland. It was PRETTY and it had HILLS. I should learn by now. Any half marathon that is Funder’s idea is going to be hard – Wildcat was no walk in the park (although how much […] more

I have a lot to write about, but am absolutely swamped getting the details ready for Rio. So, today enjoy some pictures of Farley’s son “Blue” that his owner sent me. I wasn’t the one that bred Farley, birthed Blue, or have even met him or his owner – but it’s cool to see her […] more
