Woohoo! When I first glanced at the picture, I thought Briton had a huge graduation cap on and I was confused. Just to clarify, it was you (Robin) that ran, right?

Wahoo!!!!

Nice work. You look so invigorated in that photo.

I saw a cap/gown on Briton too.

So both of you ran a half marathon together. That is so great. I think doing wonderful things like that together is going to keep your relationship young and keeps things interesting. I have to admit I am a bit jealous that you enjoy doing things like that together.

what are the paintbrushes for?

Robin said...

Clarification:
We both ran, but B. belongs to the age-category ribbon. I was just happy to finish alive.

Paintbrushes: Because I couldn't think of a #5 of anything relevant.

Photography skills. Well, you know ....
