"This is 50" - 50 Cent

Done.

And it's all because of Dawn.

You see I was really, really happy with this . . .

Her text came back saying this:

D: Whew hew!! But I know you got 5 more miles in ya!!
Me: [thinking . . . wait what?!] but time is not on my side.
D: Focus, relax your shoulders, chin down.  you.  have.  time.  Just don't do your hair after you shower.
Me: [emoticon entered --- thumbs up]
D:  You got it.  50 will be HUGE!
Me:  you.  freaking.  rock.

What an awesome friend.

My mom's text - well was a loving Mom's text.

My mom:  ...please stop .....
Me:  I'm not stopping.  sorry.

The Pita's call when I was done . . .

Pita:  How far did you run?
Me:  ummmmm fiddy.
Pita:  what?  It sounded like you said fifty.
Me:  yep, I did.
Pita:  [parental advisory warning] you are an a$s for doing that.
Me:  hey!  thanks!

In pita talk - that's a way HUGE compliment.

Then the best thing ever . . . . . .

My. freaking. awesome. dad. . . . . bringing by 20 pounds of ice when I was at mile 49.
Thank. you. my. dad!

Happy Hump Day!

5 days until Boston!  [but really, who's counting!?]

"Everything IS Everything" - Lauryn Hill

Slept like crap last night. [which is quite normal but this was a different kind of crappy]

I've got doing to do.

I feel like I've become the girl who's actions are not backing up her words.

and.

that
is
not
the
me
I
know.

I  never did sit down and write down my goals for 2011. 

2011 [all 19 days of it] has proven to be one of the busiest months, in my life.

So today.  I.  am. goal.  writing.

Everything from:

mom
church
daughter/sister
wife
runner
employee [yes, I "work" for myself, but that brings an unusual layer of much needed goals]

Hold. me. to. this.

"no more complaining" [ok, minimal complaining]

time to start.
freaking.
doing. d o - i n g.

I came across this photo last night.  Hadn't uploaded all the photos from the race.

it
made
me
smile.

Not because I think it's a good photo

but because

I look happy.  I look driven.  I look strong [come on!  let me have my moment ;) ]

I may be 19 days late

but

I may be 345 days . . . early.
