about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

Thanks for all your nice comments, guys. I am sore and tired the day after. Everything aches. I'm sure pilates will only help soothe everything! It's amazing how quickly I lose condition. Now I have to find another 20 miler for next weekend.

Oh, and at work, we're talking layoffs. Several people got laid off on Friday, and now everyone is nervous. Happy. I just try to remember my friend the three-legged cat.

Well nothing like layoffs to spoil a great weekend. Crap. That sucks. And did say you are looking for another one this weekend?! Holy moly!

I'm in the same boat, re: possible layoffs. We lost 21% of our workforce last month. Now of course, it's harder than ever on those of us who remain...and remain worried about what comes next. Hang in there, girl.

But a good walk or run always cheers me up! Totally stolen from someone's sig:

It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy. -- Mother Teresa

My wife is being laid of in July with no hope of a new contract. Poor sweety...makes it kind of hard for her to share my upcoming marathon experience. But she's a fighter, she's already putting in time looking for a new job. I guess that's about all you can do when you get the big axe (happened to me in 1993).
