Imagine what the race would have been like WITHOUT that lovely little box for your relief. Yikes!<BR/><BR/>I'm amazed that you did the marathon AND still were able to watch your filly's game. You should get some sort of super dad award for that one. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy your post marathon week.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and your Canadian comments are rare gems. I'll be laughing about those all day (and be sure to have my Canadian friends drop by for a laugh, too - they have surprising good senses of humor). :)Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641147724155240676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-10283471764518045652008-10-21T08:35:00.000-04:002008-10-21T08:35:00.000-04:00The phrase "Pee Clearly, Pee Often, PR" certainly ...The phrase "Pee Clearly, Pee Often, PR" certainly didn't apply to you on Sunday.
