i’ve been putting it off for a long time… hoping to feel a bit better… hoping to get in shape before i committed. but… today i put down my money and signed up to run in the Chicago marathon in October.
i’ve got to get in shape for the st. jude Memphis to Peoria run in august anyway, but that’s nothing like a marathon.
so… today is the last day for…
…sleeping in
…junk food (for the most part)
…excuses
we had friends in for the weekend who came and left… and along with leaving behind that wonderful feeling you only get by being with truly good friends… they also left a ton of wonderful leftovers.
and now the meals resume as beth continues to gain her strength… along with all the breads and desserts people add to the huge main courses.
so… it’s going to take some effort… and i’m asking GOD for help… but i’m gonna feel great a few pounds lighter and with all that time running alone with my Creator.
it’s gonna be good!
...as soon as i get rid of this sick feeling in my stomach that started shortly after i clicked “send” for the registration.
That is so awesome Randy! You have more guts than I do.

Ick. I can sense that sick feeling from here. I don't relish your situation :) Though, I have thought a marathon would be a great thing to experience sometime... SOME time, that is.
