...I'll never know how far I can go until I try.
Not my quote, found it on a website while I was looking to t-shirts. I found out I came in 102 at the 10k. Go me! I'm as happy as if I had finished first! My first 10k, and I still had the energy to go 2 more miles!
Thanks everyone for your kind words. The clouds have lifted and I feel better. Mary, she has a bike that's too small for her now, so it's time to graduate her to the next size. That's a great idea. Thanks.
I went to the track Tuesday and got 35 minutes of intervals. It was hot and humid. yuck. It makes it hard to breathe and just hard to be outside.
I spent all day yesterday in Columbus. The vehicle I was driving (although new) had no cruise control. So my right leg is bothering me to day. I don't understand how getting cruise control in a state vehicle is considered "extra" and not allowed.
No XT yesterday, unless you count walking outside in the HEAT with my steel toes on. I was exhausted on the way back, hoping I would make it without going to sleep.
Hoping to get my time today, going to fleet feet tomorrow to get a water belt thingie, try out some of the gels, and there is something else I need and can't remember at the moment.
Carry on marathoners!

I WALK / RUN/ WOG BECAUSE
- I CAN!
- My personal best is just that: MINE
- I'll never know how far I can go unless I try
- There is no drug like adrenaline
- I hope my children will
- It takes all I've got, but it gives back more
- It's a good kind of sore
- It's my anti-depressant
- There are a lot worse addictions out there
- I need energy
- It makes me feel free
- I need an excuse to eat
- It makes the pavement feel needed
- I love not just the finish line, but the trip along the way
- stopping would hurt so much more than a blister or a broken toenail
Things I want to do in this lifetime
- Finish a marathon
- Learn to swim
- Learn to play golf
- Go Sky diving

- Learn Italian

The clouds lifted, and these little guys are only little for such a short time. The bike for your little one is a GREAT idea. They observe you keeping healthy, sticking with a positive goal, they are WATCHING your every move. A little scary, and a huge responsibility. We momma's make it through, somehow, just one day at a time. Its the hardest job I ever had, being a mom. And, once a mom, always a mom. Even a running Mom.
Glad things are looking up! :) I like your list of things to do. Years ago, I wrote one, too. Had like 50 things on it; I remember some of them. Congrats on a great job on the 10K! See you Saturday & thanks for your kind comments. They mean a lot.
You are so cute Kayra. I'm so glad you are feeling better. You are doing your kids a favor by being a healthy mom. Embrace that!
