Townley Update...because I can!

So...lazy Tuesday. Not much going on with the Townley Family. Rob and I have been spending time together as much as possible inbetween his travels to and from North Carolina. That 8 hour drive must suck- God Bless books on CD. Things are looking up though- thanks to all of your prayers! Rob may actually get to stay in the country for a change. We'll know more as the summer progresses, but for now things are definitely looking less desolate than last week. Besides the craziness the marines are inflicting, we're good to go.
So some of our more dedicated readers might remember a time when I was training for the Baltimore Marathon Relays... Well the training days are back. We've signed up with some of our friends to run in the cancer run for the cure in June (anyone else want to come- hit Rob up). Ben- our 8 year old friend who just had his hip removed, is now CANCER FREE and to celebrate, we're running in his honor. He still has a massive cast on that has to stay on all summer, a few more rounds of chemo, and then he'll have rehab, but he may actually make an appearance at the race.
So that Rob doesn't totally smoke me in the run, I've started practicing recently... I think treadmills at the gym should have dividers...kinda like a stall. It's realllly intimidating to see Captain Marathon next to you trucking along like he's in the Olympic qualifiers heat while 10 inches to his right, I'm sweating it up on Mile #3. I wanted to reach over, stop his treadmill and say "Hey, nobody likes a show off."
Relax. I'm just kidding....sort of.
