Random things

After last week's driving to/from Cleveland and participating in an 24 hour race, this weekend is going to be different. I'm staying home. My husband and I have plans to spend tonight together. I went to Cleveland alone last week and I missed him. He was supposed to come with me, but he was unable to get the days off of work. So tonight, I will enjoy dinner and the evening with him.

The return of the IAAF Diamond League is also tonight. The Diamond League is an annual series of world class track and field meets. The first Diamond League meet will take place in Doha, Qatar. I will be able to watch the action this year on Universal Sports. I will be out with my husband when the track meet airs on Universal Sports, but my DVR will be recording it for me. I will be watching it Saturday morning when running on the treadmill. A couple of my favorite ladies will be running in Doha: Molly Beckwith (800m) and Allyson Felix (100m).

Mother's Day is on Sunday. Last year, only a few of my siblings and I were able to take Mom out for dinner. Everyone else was working. Looks like it is going to be the same again this year. I think only one of my sister's and her husband will be able to join Mom and me for dinner tomorrow evening. It is very rare to have all seven children and Mom together on a holiday since growing up. Sometimes I miss what we had back in the day. When all seven of us kids, plus Mom and Dad being together on holidays. Boy, how things have changed.
