marathon update ..

25 

just 25 days until the marathon .. yes i am nervous and anxious now .. i often wake up feeling like i am going to throw up i am so nervous .. god help me in 25 mornings please .. after the "i think that i am going to throw up" feeling goes away .. i tell myself that i don't have anything to worry about .. i have worked hard and accomplished lots of things in my 40 years of life .. i gave birth .. twice .. yes with lots and lots of pain medicine but that doesn't count .. i still gave birth and for the record cash was very uncooperative about the whole process so he counts twice .. i taught school .. produced the 6th & 7th grade yearbook on my own .. was student council sponsor .. science department head and worked on my masters all at the same time .. i have written a thesis and published it .. 

yes i know that not one of those things .. except maybe the giving birth part .. they say it is as hard on your body as running a marathon .. is like actually running a marathon but they are still things that i worked hard for and accomplished so they are the same to me and really .. that is all that matters at this point in time ..

the fact that i believe i can do it .. and right now i think that i can .. i can whip out 26.2 miles without even blinking an eye .. 

maybe because i am totally dreaming .. 

no i am not dreaming .. 

i can do it .. i will do it .. and when i am done i am going to tell you all about it .. 

and yes you have to listen !!

of course you can do anything you set your mind to !!!! After you run those miles that would make me crap out.... go enjoy NYC and have some hot cocoa at The Plaza Hotel! Take the kids to Dylan's CAndy Bar! and say to yourself I did it!!!!! Then take lots of pics and blow them up life size to put on the wall at home!
I cant wait to see you and Ellie run across the line!!!
