I did it!

Well, my marathon was a success! And I'm very proud. I wasn't quite sure...even up 'til the day, if I was going to run the full marathon. We had car troubles going up to Ashland. And as it was occuring, I kept thinking...I might as well just say g'bye to the event..."we'll never make it," I thought. However, we arrived safely. I woke up on Saturday morning and decided to go to the marathon start line and give it a shot. It ended up I did great! I'm very proud of myself! Thanks to all that have encouraged me through my training and through the whole process! Love to all...

What's new?

Hello everyone! I'm not sure anyone really ever reads my blog since I've been back from Kenya. If you've been curious and went to my blog, you could be surprised that I've posted...and that I will continue to post. As some of you may know, I'm in the process of training for the Whistlestop Marathon in Ashland WI. The race day is Sat, Oct 13th. I'm excited and nervous. I got sick right before my 20 mile training run and it's set me back. Although I'm 100% recovered, it's played a toll on my mental-ness of running this marathon. Four days before the race, I'm still debating if I should do the 1/2 or the full. I'll decide on race day. In the meantime, I've included a picture of my best training partner...Sputnik! He's my newest love! Sorry Jason... ;) Hope you are all well!
