The Big Day is coming up fast, just one week until Dad and I cross that finish line. It's all I can think about. I've banned myself from talking anymore about my shins, hip, blisters. I'm already planning what I'll eat, when I'll go to bed, what I'll wear, on and on.
Shelly just slipped into the room and left this behind for me to find and AGAIN. Again I am overwhelmed by my family's love and support. Thanks Shelly.
I heard something from Bart Yasso (of Runners World magazine) and scribbled it down before I could forget.
Never take a finish line for granted.
Never assume I'll have the privilege to do this next year, take the opportunity to do it now. Fully grab every chance to challenge myself, try new things, and drag everyone else along for the ride.
So... Are you with me? Let's do this thing! One week to go! (Ten days till school!)

The opportunity for me to accompany my daughter on her journey to this half marathon has been an unbelievable gift. Her encouragement and that one phrase "Never take a finish line for granted" is what got me to commit to this event. And running shoulder to shoulder with her with my wife and grandchildren cheering us on next Saturday.... wow, let's go, bring it on, old body-don't fail me now.
