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!

Beautiful blog Vickie!
Great blog. I couldn't have said it better myself. I can't imagine what my life would be like without this. I can't wait until January to start all over again. Even if I have to stop the long distance running b/c of our plans to have a baby....it's the awesome people that get me up so early and the reason I look forward to Chicago so much. I'm glad we have all become such good friends!
You go girl! That's what it's all about. Doing something for yourself and making new friends along the way!

We Sappy Sorts can hang together! Your words are right on target for how I feel also.
See ya in the dark tomorrow. Got me a fancy headlight from the local "we got it if you can find it store" aka walmart.
