it began with me eating breakfast at the what-a-burger on county line rd in ridgeland---quite a meal it was, but after being so full i decided i needed to walk it off.i didnt know where i was going but i knew i was heading north because the sun rising off my right shoulder...before i knew it 5 miles later(according to my garmin)i was in madison.hmm... i was amused,but I JUST KEPT ON WALKING,4 miles later i came up to this town named gluckstadt,i couldnt say it,much less spell it,so i thought"what the heck",and I JUST KEPT ON WALKING. 3 miles later,i saw this big car plant and thought how it was odd being out there in the middle of nowhere,nonetheless,I JUST KEPT ON WALKING..4 miles later i came to this town called canton,and i stopped---my legs were sore and cramping,even had a few blisters on my feet.geez,i realized i was thirsty and hungry again and i was so happy to see that mcdonalds right off I-55..i thought to myself-"DANG I JUST WALKED 16 MILES!!"
marothoners--be proud you are nearly 2/3rds there...look how far you just walked/ran..you should be sore and achy..hang in there..i am so proud of you..skip a weekday xt workout if you have to and recover..how many of you could have walked to canton this time last year? rooting for you-------wayne

Wayne,
Thanks for you encouraging words yesterday. I think I am in a funk and it will just take a little time to get out of it. Weird how you mind starts playing tricks on you body. I have not no doubt that we all will accomplish 26.2 in Chicago. Thanks again. Interesting "dream". A lot of times I tell my friends how far I did and then so...just go drive it, you will see how far that is. Have a great day. Ann
Hi Wayne:
Thanks for those words! I haven't met you yet but really enjoy knowing you are keeping an eye on us.

FStop
It is interesting to look at the odometer on your car and realize how far 26 miles actually is! I think I once filled my car up in Madison and then was driving toward Raymond and didn't hit 26.2 until after I turned on to Hwy 18. That's even long in a car!!!! But we can do it.
What-a-Burger!?! *gag*! My DH & I call it "Whattabellyache", LOL. But seriously, the recovery runs are what amazes me most. Never would I have ever thought a 9 mile wog would be a piece of cake.
Peace,
Kim :)
