Wrong. Wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after a few phone calls, a lot of button pushing on my Fenix2 and a trial 2 miler this afternoon, I think all&#8217;s well? \u00a0Fingers crossed anyway!<\/p>\n<p>A week from tomorrow is Grandma&#8217;s Marathon! \u00a0I&#8217;m really looking forward to this race!<\/p>\n<p>A friend who will be running Grandma&#8217;s as well lives up in that area and was making a trip into Duluth today. \u00a0She made a stop at a Toyota dealership. \u00a0See, the Toyota dealership had taken one of their vehicles and had the names of everybody running the race next weekend printed on that car! \u00a0She found her name and took a pic. \u00a0Then she took the time to find my name too! \u00a0She took a pic of my name and posted it to FB.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/?attachment_id=3905\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3905\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3905\" alt=\"13406893_10208445213620584_7172970848466742667_n\" src=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13406893_10208445213620584_7172970848466742667_n.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13406893_10208445213620584_7172970848466742667_n.jpg 480w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13406893_10208445213620584_7172970848466742667_n-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13406893_10208445213620584_7172970848466742667_n-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/?attachment_id=3906\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3906\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3906\" alt=\"13427734_10208445207340427_8611137806506064375_n\" src=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13427734_10208445207340427_8611137806506064375_n.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13427734_10208445207340427_8611137806506064375_n.jpg 960w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13427734_10208445207340427_8611137806506064375_n-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/13427734_10208445207340427_8611137806506064375_n-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How much fun is that!?!<\/p>\n<p>A year ago today, I took my niece, two nephews, #1 Daughter and #1 Daughter&#8217;s #1 Fiance to a water park in Starkville, Mississippi. \u00a0We had so much fun!!!
