Yet he gets up early, drives me to every race, and even occasionally joins me in the random 5k. He drives around looking for me on my LSD's to bring me cold water, and wants me to check in to make sure I'm okay when I've been gone a while. He's my crew chief, and I couldn't do a single race without his support. But that glazed look when I bring up the dreaded R word? Oh. Yes. The man should be sainted.

It is hard to feign interest in things that you simply don't care for like cars- or even sports like football. It's great you have built such a fantastic place (your blog) to connect with other like-minded people who cheer for you.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-12150932364613913752016-11-04T19:17:20.464-05:002016-11-04T19:17:20.464-05:00I do love my blogging friends!I do love my blogging friends!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-73888792295598694632016-11-04T19:16:54.769-05:002016-11-04T19:16:54.769-05:00I actually really liked this word!I actually really liked this word!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-26929870069506915472016-11-04T09:57:37.623-05:002016-11-04T09:57:37.623-05:00lol no one gets it except for my mom (who runs wit...lol no one gets it except for my mom (who runs with me).
