You can readily see how MUCH SLOWER I am running these days. It really 'bugs' me that my legs just won't move any faster — especially down hills bother my old knees... I'm really not complaining but it's 'just the facts'... don't get old....
Hope you all had a nice Valentine's day. I expect to be running more in March, but have 2 bridal showers on Sundays and a wedding on Saturday the 26th... so it goes. I'm always ready to 'party'....
I guess I can also wish you a HAPPY EASTER since it's only a few days away this year.
Regards to all,

Hi all !!!!
Needless to say the bitter cold, icy roads & winds did not make a good
racing month — especially for me who is getting slower by the day...
However, the days I could run were most enjoyable since I have not even WALKED since early December — this sure put a 'crimp in my style'... but the days are slowly getting longer — income tax season is now in full swing, Lent starts 2/8/05 and before we know it, Easter & warmer weather will be here...
Meantime — Warm good wishes for a Happy, Love-filled VALENTINE'S DAY...
Sincerely,
Louise M. Rossetti
