A little stowaway crossed the finish line with me at the end of my 1st half marathon this AM. If you’d have told me back in January when I started training that I’d be running it 4 months pregnant I’d have called you crazy! Thankful, excited, surprised and overwhelmed with joy.

It's frustrating to work on a news story, only to be blown off repeatedly by a publicly elected official you need to speak with to get the other side/view. That translates to you electing someone to office-- then them impeding the information we bring back to you. Is that fair?
