- my hair. Running with my hair stuffed up under a hat creates a mixture of dried up sweat + day old gel that ends of looking like a bird's nest gone haywire.
- my feet. Black toenails and blisters that looks like a bunyans growing out of the side of my foot is exactly what it sounds like-- U-G-L-Y
- my afternoon coffee break. Running when Eric gets home from work after coffee causes one upset stomach.
Just thought you'd want to know.

Maria...
As I was running my 3 boring miles on the treadmill this afternoon (chose not to run outside in the wind that Ike is bringing our way) I thought and prayed for you the whole time... I am inspired by your determination, compassion & heart for the cause you are running for! Kip read your fundraising letter yesterday and we are going to sponsor a child in honor of your run... such a great way to teach us as well as our children how amazingly blessed we are and to spread that blessing to another! I'll be in Louisville Oct 2-6 and hope to see you! Until then... RUN MARIA RUN!

Charlotte,
Wow! Thank you so much--that made my day! Heather just told me the other day that you have been doing Triathlons--that is SO impressive. I am excited you are coming in town. I will get the low down from Amy or Anna and make plans to see you!
Again, Thank you!

Hey, 3.5 miles is no joke! Way to go!!!
Last 1/2 Marathon Will and Testament:
I will you my favorite Ipod running tunes.
I will you my little roll of toilet paper to take with you for the long port-o-john lines. Hee!!
I will you my old jacket that you can throw away when get past that first mile.
I will you my sports beans and gel that never really helped me.
I will you my nasty old sweaty hat.
I will you my scripture notecards.
I will you my motrin, band aids, sportscream, future hip replacement.
Just kidding!!! I know you are more of a woman than I was.
Christy,
I will gladly accept all but the sweaty hat and hip replacement--these two I'm working on myself! Thanks for making me laugh--and you continue to be my inspiration for running the 1/2 marathon...I am still SO impressed!
