Hi!

So, I'm anchoring the am show and noon show for the next two weeks which is why this posting will have absolutely nothing to do with health. But I have some awesome photos to share with you.

First, Julie sent this Christmas photo of her cat Button and dog Iki. Look at the look on Button's face. Hilarious!!

And here is the closest thing Sherrie had to a Christmas photo of Ed. Notice the tree in the back.

And Scott sent me this one he calls "Sunday Brunch". I'm telling you, his photos are all like that. Amazing.

Okay-- overdue response time:

Peter writes to tell me he has run more than 100 marathons. WOW. But he also built up slowly to the distance over about 4 years. My head is still spinning from the 100 marathons.........

Greg, on the other hand, wrote: This report was quite a shock to me! I started running to help prevent heart disease as it runs in my family. I can’t do much about the genes, but I can about eating healthy and exercise. And I ran my first marathon in November to bring awareness to heart disease. I was planning on running more marathons, but it sounds like moderation may be best in running as it is in most things we do. Maybe a person should stick to 5ks, 10ks and half marathons.

Time is a factor too. It takes so much time to train for a marathon. I didn’t really know the time requirements until after I committed to running one. It took a lot of time.

Oh man, it's 1:15pm and I was supposed to be off 15 minutes ago. Hey, anyone have a Hanukkah pet picture they could send? Or family Christmas photos? That'd be fun. If I can remember to do it I will get the one I took of my dog Milo for my Christmas cards. Poor mutt! :-)
