Ahhh. Thanks Acropolis. That is so kind of you to say.

Kudos goes to everyone here at ETS, because I was a total mess when I started lurking here, trying to figure out how to "get prepared". I could easily have slipped over the edge into crazy mama survivalist were it not for the wise minds around this group. I've learned so much from this group, not the least of which has been to try to keep it realistic. Thanks everyone!!

Speaking of realism and long walks. My son and I were at the Y the other night and he asked me to run the track with him. I passed because of my knee and the fact that I am not a runner. He did six miles. Easy. Refused to stretch afterwards and had very little pain the next day. Now I really feel old. LOL!
