My husband and I had a great time at the party. Although I have to confess I was a bit jealous because all of you had accomplished something so awesome. You are half marathoners!!! Way to go! It was great to see all of you smiling and happy, and so proud of yourselves.
I wish I had been a part of it but I decided to wait and get better before going such long distance. I don't want this to turn into something worse, and then have to sit out even longer.
I still have some congestion and a pesky cough that just started. Did I mention I can't hear out of my left ear? yeah, I just hope my ears don't burst tomorrow on my flight to the Windy City. We are not staying downtown (bummer) because the class is in Des Plaines. I hope we get a chance to make it to downtown Chicago though.
Have a great training week everyone. I'm going to get on the treadmill at the hotel and see how it goes. I want to be ready for our 7.5 miles on Saturday.
I'm so proud of all of you, you are 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
- Travel to Spain and trace my ancestry
- Learn Italian
- Go to Italy

- Travel to all 50 US states
- Learn to ride a motorcycle
- Build a house in Panama

The smartest thing a marathoner can do is forgo a small race for the glory of the big one! You ARE a marathoner!
Mark is absolutely correct. You did the right thing by holding back and not trying to run Saturday.
YOU are a marathoner......

Nothing worse than trying to do something extremely physical when your body feels not up to par. Hang in there! You will be " up and doin'" sooner since you are slowing down now to heal.
Great seeing you Sat. nite. You looked so cute!
I hope you are feeling better and am so glad you are being careful. Good for you!
