I Am Superwoman

  Got up this morning, put on my running shoes and went for my 3-mile run around the neighborhood in the fresh air.  A neighbor of mine accompanies me and we truly enjoy the solace we get from this grueling workout.  We run up and down steep and not-so-steep hills and at the end it is very rewarding because we got it in.
