I am so glad that I participated in Ali Edwards' week in the life two weeks ago. When I heard the dates and realized Paul was going to be out of town for training, I inwardly groaned. "I don't want to do this if it's just me," I thought. "This won't be a real week…

When I was about four or five, I remember measuring summers by the number of scabs and scars on my knees. I remember thinking "I fell down nine times this summer." I also remember loosing track of all the big tear-jerking tumbles I took down the driveway. I had scrapes on top of scrapes and…
