Ms. Weiner.....off and running again!

Ms. Weiner’s L-T blog update

Happy New Year Lincoln-Thomson family! It has been awhile since I blogged so…..here’s what I’ve been up to:

Ran a virtual half marathon (13.1 miles) in memory of the children and staff of Sandy Hook Elementary School. My bib has the names of the children and staff who died. I ran through Nahant, Lynn, and Swampscott!

Ran a new year’s day race in Salem, called the Frosty Four. It was very cold and windy but I finished and was VERY happy!

Finished a great book called The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach (his first novel). It is about friendship, baseball, and relationships , in general, and how people come together in time of need. It is fiction.
