Be sincere. Do expect a little more spring in your step as you open the gap on him. By inviting him to run with you, you have allowed him to take ownership of his level of fitness. You have also given him a more realistic view of what females can do. Miss Manners does not approve of sandbagging to save a man's ego.Jennifer Yake Neuschwanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689556408150139475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442597576983301487.post-558623796141558792008-06-15T12:22:00.000-07:002008-06-15T12:22:00.000-07:00Miss Manners,I know you are a cycling expert, but ...Miss Manners,<BR/>I know you are a cycling expert, but I need help with running manners!

Expect unexpected blessings and triumphs and you will have victory and joy. You will have a great day. The prayers and cheers of all your friends and family will lift you and carry you with swiftness and strength to the place where you will hear, "Jennifer Yake from La Jolla, California. Jenn, you are an IRONMAN." Then into Tim's arms (unless you dropped him big time on the bike).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442597576983301487.post-47906901450356254602008-06-14T08:01:00.000-07:002008-06-14T08:01:00.000-07:00Hey Jenn,Psalm 27:14 "Be strong and take heart."...Hey Jenn,<BR/><BR/>Psalm 27:14 "Be strong and take heart."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442597576983301487.post-74878899310518162462008-06-14T07:45:00.000-07:002008-06-14T07:45:00.000-07:00Jen,You will be awesome, as will Tim and Bruce.
