Okay, normally we don't say cr** at my house but this post definitely calls for it being used. 17 days till D-day. I am already getting the butterflies . We ran a 10 miler a few Saturdays ago and I wanted to DIE! I cant even imagine having to run 3 MORE MILES. Of course this time we will be smart about it and drink some water on the way :) Seriously I don't know what we were thinkin' signing ourselves up for this. During these last few months of training we have gone through alot of ups and downs. I pulled my Achilles tendon and Jami needed her Gal bladder removed during the first part of the summer. No big deal right? We have plenty of time to still prepare. So after I let my tendon heal and Jami got squared away with her gal issues we thought we were on our way. Then just a week ago Jami developed a bone spur and even more recently I have had some kidney stone issues. We keep laughing ( so we don't cry) ;) saying this whole running thing "isn't meant to be" We never claimed to be runners we just wanted a challenge and that is exactly what we have faced! I will be so HAPPY when this is over so I can YELL at the top of my lungs "WE DID IT"......... that is if I am still breathing

You've learned a few things since, I know you can do it! Love the new layout!
We definitely have had some crazy moments and if it weren't for you I would have dropped out months ago. I am so glad to be doing this with you! Thanks for being such a great friend and getting me through this. Just remember that when we are done we are going to eat something FATTY!!! yum
Wow, the dedication. Keep it up. The more I read about you and others dedicated to living healthy lives the the more motivated I am to join the quest. Thanks for the motivation.
LOVE the picture. One up side to the marathon is that you get to "carb load" the day before, right? Olive Garden anyone? Oh wait. . . not those kind of carbs, huh? :)
I'm so impressed that you are doing this! You will have to help me/give me some tips after I have the baby!
What?! You ran 10 miles with no water? No wonder you got Kidney Stones! Ouch! Your body is speaking to you.
Well, hang in there because it will totally be worth it! Just remember to take it easy and OF COURSE drink tons of water! And don't be afraid to walk! Best of luck! You will do awesome!
YOU GO TIFF!!!
You can do it. It wouldn't be worth doing if it were easy. I love would like to try to do one next year. It's nice you have someone to run with, it makes easier to keep going.
well to be honest I think you are crazy! I used to want to run like that but I have completely changed my mind. But good luck and drink lots of water and have fun.
