HUMP DAY,, AND ITS BEEN A GOOD WEEK SO FAR, DID A DOUBLE MONDAY, OFF TUES AND 12 HRS TODAY, 16 TOMORROW AND IM OFF UNTIL MONDAY, IM GLAD I MADE THE DECISION TO COME BACK, IVE ENJOYED IT THUS FAR. AND EVEN BEEN ABLE TO GET MY RUNNING IN, WELL MONDAY I DIDNT, BUT TUES I DID 5 MILES, THIS MORNING I GOT UP AT 4 AND DID 4 ON THE TREADMILL, BUT MY KNEES HAVE BEEN SO ACHY ALL DAY TODAY, I WAS GONIG TO COME HOME TONIGHT AND DO A LITTLE MORE BUT IM GOING TO LET THEM REST,,
MAN ISNT THE WEATHER A LITTLE BETTER, WE MIGHT GET RAINED ON SATURDAY, BUT HECK, BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, HA,,
ALMOST SEPT, THAT MEANS ALMOST OCT.. IT WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT, I GET SO EXCITED SOMETIMES JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, AND THE FOLKS AT THE HOSPITAL ARE JUST FINDING OUT AND THEY ARE AMAZED THAT IVE TACKLED IT..
IM GOING FOR NOW, NEED TO GET A LITTLE REST IN BEFORE TOMORROW
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE HAD A GOOD, SAFE WEEK,,
SEE YA SATURDAY

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

CAN YA'LL BELIEVE WE WALKED/ RAN FOR 20 MILES, IM AMAZED AT HOW FAR WE HAVE COME. I WAS SLOWER TODAY, I THINK I WAS SCARED I WOULD BURNT OUT AND SICK LIKE WHEN I DID HTE 18 SO I WALKED MORE THAN I NORMALLY DO,BUT I DIDNT HAVE ANY OF THAT TODAY, I ATTRIBUTE THAT TO SUCKING DOWN ALL THE WATER THIS WEEK. I READ IN AN ARTICLE THAT NOT HYDRATING YOURSELF ENOUGH CAN MAKE YOU GET AN UPSET TUMMY, SO I CUT DOWN TO ONE D COKE A DAY, AND LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER, AND I COULD DEFINENTLY TELL A DIFFERENCE TODAY. KELVIN AND I WALKED THE LAST 5 TOGETHER, I REALLY NEED TO BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR 7 SINCE I HAVE TO TAKE 3 STEPS TO KELVINS ONE, BUT HE KEPT ME GOING AND WE GOT IT DONE. HE ASKED ME ONCE, YOU THINK WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THE WHOLE THING.. AND I TOLD HIM YES WE CAN, WE DID 20 , 6 MORE WONT BE THAT HARD. WEATHER CO 0PERATING SOME HELPED SOME. THANK YOU SHANNON FOR THE PROPEL AND WATER AT THE GATE, I THINK THAT PROPEL REALLY HELPED ME FINISH UP. BUT NOW AFTER ALL THE EXCITED OF DOING 20 MILES IS OVER, THE FACT THAT I ONLY GOT ALMOST 3 HRS ASLEEP AND 20 MILES IS FASTLY CATCHING UP WITH ME.ITS ONLY 5 AND I COULD GO TO BED NOW, BUT ILL WAIT A COUPLE MORE HRS. IM TIRED AND A LITTLE STIFF BUT ITS SUCH A GOOD FEELING TO KNOW THAT WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS. WHAT A GROUP OF FOLKS, THANKS TO MARK, ROBIN, SHEILA AND SUZANNE FOR CHECKING ON US, ITS NICE TO KNOW SOMEONE HAS YOUR BACK IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD REST OF THE WEEK,
WE ARE MARATHONERS !

GOOD RUN

I HAD A GOOD RUN THIS MORNING, IT WAS HOT AND IT WAS TOUGH BUT I MADE IT AND WAS ABLE TO RUN ALOT OF IT, AND FASTER THAN I NORMALLY DO, I WANT TO GET MY TIME UP SOME. I WANTED TO FINISH IN AT LEAST 2 HRS AND I DID IT IN 1:59.. EVEN WITH A STOPPED UP HEAD AND SORE THROAT, I DRANK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER THIS PAST WEEK AND I THINK THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.
YESTERDAY WAS A TOUGH DAY FOR ME.. TOOK MY BABY TO STATE AND IN HER 1ST APT. I KNEW IT WOULD BE HARD, BUT IT WAS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT, THATS JUST ONE OF THESE LIFE THINGS THAT IVE GOTTA LEARN, IM JUST BEING SELFISH AND WANT HER WITH ME ALL THE TIME, BUT THIS IS HER TIME, SHE IS SO EXCITED AND I HAVE TO BE THAT WAY FOR HER ALSO, ILL BE ALRIGHT, JUST TAKE A LITTLE TIME.
I WAS READING HOW SHANNON HAS GOTTEN THINGS GOING AGAIN FOR US ALL, AND IM ALSO GLAD TO KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS BEEN SLACKING, I WISH I COULD GET UP TO THE REZ TO DO THAT WITH YA'LL BUT ITS JUST SO FAR FROM ME, IM GOING TO GET MORE MOTIVATED AND DO THIS.. THATS GOOD OF SHANNON, ( MY ROOMIE IN CHICAGO) TO DO THIS.. KEEP IT UP GIRL!
MISSED SEEING OUR BIKE RIDERS OUT THERE TODAY,
THERE IS THIS SONG, AND I THINK ITS BY LONESTAR, CALLED MOUNTAINS, I LISTENED TO IT ABOUT 4 TIMES THIS MORNING AND ITS SO GOOD AND SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH, IM GOING TO TRY AND WRITE DOWN THE WORDS TO SOME OF IT AND LET THE ONES THAT DONT LISTEN TO COUNTRY SEE WHAT IT SAYS..

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD REST OF THE WEEK.. OHH IM THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO DO MY 20 MILES FRIDAY HERE, I HAVE A 5 MILE LOOP I HAVE AND I CAN DO IT 4 TIMES,, IF I CAN GET MOTIVATED, I HAVE A CONCERT THAT IM GOING TO FRIDAY NIGHT AND IM SURE WE WONT GET HOME UNTIL 12 OR AFTER AND I WILL BE DEAD THAT MORNING,, CONSIDERING IT.

RUNNING IN THE PITCH DARK WAS A NEW THING BUT WITH KELVIN LEADING THE WAY WITH HIS HEADLIGHT WE MADE IT ALRIGHT AND THE WEATHER WASNT HALF BAD..AND IT WAS OVER QUICK
THANK YOU KELVIN AND CHUCK FOR WATCHING OUT FOR ME IN THE DARK, I THINK I DESERVE EXTRA POINTS FOR JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH KELVIN AND HIS EXTRAAAAAAAAA LONGGGGGGGGG STRIDES WHEN HES RUNNING,, I HAVE TO TAKE 3 STEPS TO HIS 1 BUT RIGHT BEFORE THE CRAFTS CENTER ON THE WAY BACK MY KNEE GOT PRETTY ACHY AND I SLOWED DOWN SOME BUT STILL MY TIME WASNT BAD, THEN SOME OF US WENT TO BEAGLE BAGLE FOR BREAKFAST , THAT WAS FUN, JUST SITTING AROUND ENJOYING EACH OTHERS COMPANY, LISTENING TO EACH OTHERS WAR STORIES AND LEARNING FROM THE VETERANS OF OTHER MARATHONS.

THE VIDEO

AS I WATCHED THAT VIDEO THIS MORNING IT MADE ME TEAR UP TO THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE PART OF THAT AND VERY SOON. ITS JUST ALL TO AMAZING TO ME , JUST TO THINK FROM THAT SATURDAY AT FONDREN AND I THOUGHT I COULD WHIP OUT THOSE FIRST COUPLE OF MILES AND STRUGGLED UP TO THE 18 MILES LAST SATURDAY, I WAS BEAT AND BANGED UP BUT I FINISHED AND REST OF US DID ALSO. WE HAVE COME SO FAR AND BECOME GOOD FRIENDS , THIS IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET, AND EVEN THOUGH IM 50 NOW, ,THIS IS A GOOD PLACE IN MY LIFE TO BE AND IM DOING IT NOW.NOT FOR THE KIDS OR MY HUSBAND BUT FOR MYSELF. MAYBE THIS IS MY 15 MIN OF FAME, BUT ITS MINE, NOT SOMETHING GIVEN TO ME, SOMETHING I HAVE WORKED FOR AND ACHIEVED WITH THE HELP OF YA'LL, MARK AND ROBIN GIVING UP THE PROPER GUIDANCE IN HOW TO DO IT, AND THE GOOD LORD GIVING ME THE FAITH THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF YOU JUST BELIEVE IN HIM.

SORRY IF IM BEING SAPPY THIS MORNING BUT JUST WATCHING THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE THIS.
I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT!

NOW LETS GET OUT THERE AND FINISH THIS ENDEVOR THAT WE HAVE UNDERTAKEN , TOGETHER AS THE MARATHONERS FROM MISSISSIPPI!
