Sending you hugs, Teresa! It WAS a very traumatic experience what happened to Steele. The anniversary coming up and similar events of course triggered all those horrible memories and feelings. You take care of yourself!

I run 3x a week. Training for my half, I did 2 short runs (5k, leading up to 6.5 and 8K "short" runs) and one longer run. I never added more than 1 mile (1.6k) to my long run each week. There are many training plans out there for running 5k, 10k, halfs, etc. It helps having a plan. I used ...

Sorry, that is downright rude! I would have eaten and let them have cold leftovers when they arrived. No rewarding rude behaviour!
