Join me, support me, babysit for me, just don't doubt me. I know the Lord can carry me across the finish line and I know that this a worthy goal. I have an amazingly supportive husband, and a beautiful trail to do my long runs on. So here's to the next few months and an almost impossible dream coming true.
P.S. Auretta wasn't enjoying the stickers I got for potty training, so I am using them for running. The purple smiley faces make me feel pretty good. Give me a couple weeks, then come and look at all my stickers. :)

No doubt here! You rock. I am so totally and completely not a runner. I am very happy this way. So I won't be running with you.
But I do support you. And I can give you babysitters. Maybe if I start feeling well enough I can even offer to watch them myself sometime.
Seriously, more power to ya! It is a worthy goal and you are amazing!
Maggie, I'm still planning on coming out! I'm so happy that you're sticking to all this. You might have to find me a babysitter too! Love you! Keep it up!
WAY TO GOOOO! Wish I had someone to go with me to help me accomplish the same things. It's easier with 2.
