Martha Stewart Express run

   I started early this morning with a 7 am run on the Plaza with a group from KC Express. It was a fun run to promote the Martha Stewart show moving to the Hallmark Channel. We were asked to bring Martha-related props, so I brought my dogs. C'mon, Martha loves dogs. (Ok, she has chows & French bulldogs, not necessarily shibas, but still...) We had a fun time & the weather was PERFECT for running—could not have been better. My gimpy hip actually felt pretty good & I was able to run nearly the whole course, stopping for traffic lights along the way. Afterwards I sat outside Panera with Jeanne & Danielle & enjoyed a pastry. Perfect start to the day. You can see all the photos here.

   (I'm not in the group photo because my canine alarm clock hit "snooze" this morning!! I was 5 minutes late.)
