Two Weeks Post Marathon
Today has been two weeks since our marathon and you know what, I WANTED to go for a run today! Jeff thinks I am crazy, but I must really like to run- - -because after that horrid Chicago race, I wasn't sure I would ever run again.
It felt good to be able to just go out and run five miles, five little, short, and fast miles. I think I will continue to run, but just not another marathon. I beleive 5 K's, 10 K's and half marathons will be much better for me. Hopefully, I will get to run for Team in Training again some day. It was an awesome experience and we met so many wonderful people! What they are doing for LLS is amazing!

These next 2 pictures are of the amazingly LOUD reception the wholeTNT team received as we entered the dining hall for the pasta dinner. They went above and beyond to make us feel important!

Now it is time to TRY to sleep- - -hopefully it will come. But as I head off to bed, I wanted to leave you all with the email that I received from my dear sweet Camryn when I got back to the room tonight.
Here they are:But the LORD said to him, "Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die" Judges 3:23
The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. Psalms 118:6
Mommy I love you with all my heart.
Camryn
P.S. I hope you cross the finish line. I love you a lot.
I love this huge banner from the expo. Tomorrow truly will be the victory lap!!

Pre Race Encouragement
There have been a few emails going around from the Team in Training group that will be running in Chicago on Sunday and I thought I would share:
Post Marathon Pain
We can't all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.- Will Rogers
Bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible.
- William Shakespeare
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
- T.S. Eliot
Big occasions and races which have been eagerly anticipated, almost to the point of dread, are where great deeds can be accomplished.
- Jack Lovelock
The pain won’t last but the memories will. - John Maclean, Ironman hall of famer
Then where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within. - "Chariots of Fire"
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop. - Lewis Carroll, from "Alice in Wonderland"
