The count down officially begins today..in six days I run The St. George Marathon. What does this mean to me? that after 26.2 miles I will have a great story to tell and I will really consider the fact that maybe I am crazy. I think this will be my 7
Th marathon. These races become huge events in my life. Each one has made me stronger in all sorts of ways. I know that I will have the best day dreams while I run. The weirdest thoughts come to me while I run. I invent things and I plan vacations with my kids that are crazy fun. I write a book as I run and I make mini-books, I will sing and rap and dance all while I run..I am so in love with running its a happy pill for me. Give me some
tennis shoes and shorts and consider me happy..
but here is the part that scares me. I am running for certain time. I would like to do it in 3:45 ..I did the Rock in Roll in 3:58 ..So what happens if I run it in 3:45...I can go to Boston. Holy cow..If that happened I would poop my pants. I just don't see how I can do that.It's crazy how our mind does that. I think I can do 3:50...but not 3:45.. I never cared about time much but I guess I do now..no matter what it will be a good time..My dad and my kids will be cheering me on. I will totally keep you posted no matter what my time is I will run my little butt off...Do you have something thats you do that makes you crazy happy ?

wow! you are so inspiring! you make me want to get out and run! And better yet, you make me want to keep pushing until I find that special something I just can't get enough of. what a great feeling that must be.
you are such an inspiration dear G. Pushing on step after step after step. I feel this way when i am on my bicycle. I just love the freedom. My mind wanders off as your does when you are running. And my body feels so good.
Good luck with achieving your time. I hope you make it to Boston!!
YOU CAN DO IT SISTER!
i will be there with you in spirit to hold your hand and we can sing CRAZY happy songs together when you feel sluggish!
i love you oddles.
