Total Distance

6.00

6 miles in a windless 19 degrees. It was so nice! Wind would have made it miserable. Legs still a bit tired, pace quite a bit slower than last week, but muscles getting stronger.

My 6 year old daughter got her ears pierced last night. I had warned her ahead of time that it would hurt, but not to worry, and that she would cry, but the pain wouldn't last long. I have video of the first ear getting pierced and she got that look on her face of "What did YOU just do to me?" then started bawling. She was really close to not having the other ear done but I finally talked her into it, and it wasn't near as bad. A sweet experience.

I love it! I pierced my left ear while in the bathroom when I was 13. It was not fun, and nobody ever saw me with an earring. A fun youthful experiment.

Anna wanted her ears pierced when she was 4. We took her to wal-mart and got them done. She didn't complain much. Fast forward 2 months...I guess she got tired of having to rotate the studs and disinfect them, because somehow she pried the earrings out and threw them away. Her holes filled in, of course.

Kam, that's hilarious!
