UH HUH Uh HUH!
OK WE DID IT!!!
Yep....it was an experience of a lifetime.....!
And i have decided that i like the journey Better than the GOAL!....let me tell you why.....
I love my early morning runs. The one that are nice and quiet and beautiful with the sun shining through the trees or rising over them. I like breathing frosty air with my friends at 5 or 6 in the morning to do this 'thing' that we have set out to do. And I like the companionship of others doing the same thing whether we are talking about our lives as we run or just running quietly ...trying to get it done. I like hearing about other peoples' lives and knowing that they DO have one that exists outside of this. I love eating with each other at the end of a run and hearing the questions that I want the answers to, too...(?) I love to feel the road under me when I am listening to my music and thinking my own thoughts.
I know that this is something I will do whether there is a marathon or not. It has shown me that I can accomplish what I set out to do no matter what. The benefits have far outweighed the negatives. So, at 5 or 6 every morning I will be here in Vicksburg doing 'my thing'...probably not a marathon distance but a nice easy run one that will get my heart rate up and make me feel like a MARATHONER!
To all of you who have trudged the miles with me THANK YOU!...and to Robin and Mark....we all know that you have to put in tons of time and phone calls to make this happen, thank you for giving us the privilege of doing this with you.
