i can not evaluate Alana on her own terms, only in comparison to her 15% lighter sister. Is it wrong to have stockpiles for survival? She seems to be as much of an enduro baby, but not a racer. Is it wrong to be at the back of the pack? Is G’s energy today a result of who she was at 1, and if so it is too late for Alana to be G, but it is not too late for Alana to not be a pod? My own need for 8 hrs a week biases my thinking, colors can not be trusted.

New Years Resolution: make sure both my girls get at least an hour a day of exercise with me, like Kila, above and beyond whatever else they may get from wherever else.
