Drink plenty of water whereami - hope you are better soon.

I read a book yesterday called The Bodywise Woman. I really liked it - especially the first few chapters. The first chapter "How Far We Come" was a history of women's activities over the last few centuries. I was shocked to read that in 1967 Katherine Switzer entered the Boston Marathon as K. Switzer. Women were not allowed to run in the event. and when officials discovered "k" running the race, they tried to bodily remove her. She slipped past them, however, and ran right into the history books!!!! But even for a while after that amateur organizations thought women were to frail for marathons and women were not allowed to participate till 1972.

Wow. I've read one of Switzer's books and I followed her "Learn to be an Hour Runner" last summer. I did not know this.

Imagine.

Anyways I proudly ran my 10 K today.
