bummer on your non-qualifying NYC time.

this totally makes me want to have girls' weekend with my sisters and NOT run a marathon.

Ann's a nice sister. :)

Proud of you both. Looks like I didn't have to pay for ballet lessons--you've got the positions down instinctly. Not only is Ann a nice sister, she is an even nicer daughter.

Prediction: Eliason girls will run together (maybe not a marathon). Does a run on the beach count?

obviously i'm still pretty new around here, cause I still can't get over the stomach. it will just take a couple more days. Congrats on the marathon! I thought boston was harder to get into that NY? I'm obviously out of the loop. anyway, thanks for your comment. I'm not a great photographer. luckily, i have a nice camera, it's digital, so i keep taking pictures until one turns out. the second picture is a handmade wooden door that was for sale at the little heritage village by our house. these arab guys in their shops make stuff- brass, glass, wood. it's so cool. and then the soup??? I was so confused about this question and maybe you're up too late and/or my font is too small cause I was talking about soap. love it.

You TOTALLY rock!!!! I told another person (total stranger to you) that you won a marathon less than two weeks after dragging my sorry butt to the end of the RnR. Seriously. This is your new profession. It's either that or an abs model.
