THOMAS AGREED AND I KNOW I WILL KEEP UP WITH MY TRAINING DOING THIS. IT WONT BE LIKE BEING WITH YOU ALL EVERY SAT BUT ILL GET TO SEE YOU SOON AND WE CAN BLOG. SO IM EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I WAS GLAD CLARK DID THE PICS WHERE WE COULD ORDER , THE KIDS WERE REALLY WANTING ONE. SO THATS GOOD..

HOPE YOU ARE ALL HAVING A GOOD WEEK AND EASING BACK INTO THE ROUTINE. I WAS AT MISS STATE YESTERDAY AND GOT OUT AND RAN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF, NOT SURE HOW MANY MILES I DID, BUT HOPEFULLY ABOUT 5. I RAN ALL OVER THE CAMPUS IT WAS REALLY KINDA FUN.

what a weekend!

man, what an weekend! like everyone else i was so disappointed that we didnt finish, but we could have, we had been prepared mentally and physically, just wasnt in the cards for us that day, we will do it again. i could have gone faster but i wasnt really pushing alot, i tried to just concentrate on just finishing. it was soo good to see our curb crew out,, thank you soo much, it was as if ya'll knew when I needed ya'll, when i would be wilting there you would be and you will never know how good it was to see a familiar face, ya'll are so very special for doing this. the folks of chicago were great, they were all so encouraging calling out your names, and with the water, i dont know what we would have done without them. the expo was fun, i had been planning all year to get me a jacket when i saw the price of them, i fought myself for a day then went back and got it, and said well heck i deserve it, that was fun though, and then there are my roomates, shannon who is a hoot, kept us all laughing and joy and debbie,i knew them from our walks but not good, and it was a pleasure to me to get to meet and know you better, we all just kinda set back and enjoyed the whole thing. you really get close to folks when you live with them for 3 days. thank you girls, ill miss seeing you for a couple of weeks, but ill be seeing you soon. the supper together was so good, and the company was great also, and then thanks to mark, robin, matt and scotty and im sorry i dont know the name of the man that took the pictures, but thank you for all you did, the trip was so much fun, i had a blast and that was what i wanted most of all to have a good time and i did...
hope your all doing good, i already miss you all, this marathon makeover is truly a blessing to me,, just as all of you have become to me.
