Answer: Overused at the knee



Question: What are Ella's pants? That is correct! Someday my baby is going to start walking. And I am happy to report that that day is coming very soon. Ella took her first steps the week after Christmas and since then she has been, well, crawling. She can walk she just wont. But the past couple of days she has been very daring and has taken several steps on her own without even being coaxed. Keep it going Ella! We love you!

The 1/2

Dear Mr. Race Coordinator,

This past Saturday I participated in your 1/2 marathon. Although my overall experience is positive and it was a much more enjoyable race then I expected, I do have one complaint; PORT-A-JOHNS. There are few things that are more important at a racing event then having a sufficient number of port-a-johns. Five port-a-johns for about 300 racers just doesn't cut it. I didn't feel like waiting in the forever line before the race, and it wasn't a total emergency, so I figured I would just wait and use one of the johns on the route. Then, seconds before the gun sounded, I was informed that there are no johns on the route. Not one port-a-john for 13 miles, lovely. I'm not sure who you though was running your race but some of us have given birth a few times over. And we don't have control of some parts of our body like we use to. It's nice that there was 13 miles of see-through brush along the route, maybe next year I'll practice my squatting techniques. But just in case I forget, a john around mile 7 or 8 would be greatly appreciated.

Yours Truly,
Becky Bladder
