Jacki Munzel is 50 years old and she’s no household name. The mother of three has neither Shaun White’s global notoriety, nor Lolo Jones’ marketing appeal.
But she’s beaten a debilitating eating disorder, Superstorm Sandy and an injury at the worst possible time to compete against athletes decades younger than her for a spot on the United States Olympic Team this winter.

I considered not even posting this after uploading to YouTube; but hey, I needed content for today’s post!
I really need to work on my iPhone, “steady cam” technique; but this is the best decorated house on my route so far this season. From mile 4.2 this morning:
Maybe I will stick with stills…and even post one of this place tomorrow.

Happy 82nd to my Father-in-law. We are especially missing him today – his first birthday without him.
I love this picture of him. It captures his smile, his easy-going attitude, and so many other things that were uniquely him. I truly can just hear him laugh when I see this picture.
He and my dad were two of the biggest influences in my life – hard workers, good men, … so much more. They both taught me so much – some things that, unfortunately, I’m only coming to appreciate now that they are both gone.
I simply hate that I can’t laugh, talk, … do whatever with them any more.

Interesting article on Gump’s long run…
“I have often thought of Forrest. How could he possibly have run across the country several times with such apparent ease? I know, I know, he\’s a fictional character. But with the popularity of marathons and ultra-running (any race that is more than the distance of a marathon and can top out at 100 miles), I thought now would be as good a time as any to answer this burning question: Could anyone possibly do what Forrest Gump did?”
