Today, is the big 10 miler! I loaded up on Carbs last night
for today's run and I guess I feel pretty good (I think). It's moments like this when I question my decision to do another
marathon. I don't particularly "love" running. I think I enjoy cycling more and yet here I am running my 9th Half
in Long Beach and my 3rd marathon in Vegas. Who knew!
I even created a special playlist on my mini ipod for this
occasion. Hope it carries me to the end!
Enough of my ramblings . . . gotta go!

I'll Remember you . . .
Well, yesterday was my Birthday as well as my mom's birthday. It simply became a reminder to me that she
was not here for another year.
Today (the anniversary date of the 9/11 disaster), I decided that I needed to count my blessings as I made it
to yet another year relatively unscathed.
Sometimes when you feel down and sad it's good to take the time to reflect on what you do have rather than what you don't.
Still, I do wish that I could approach Sept. 10 as a day to always celebrate for two rather than one. But that's
not the reality.
I miss her.

Summer's end!
Well, here it is! The last weekend of summer! Labor day weekend
and I can't wait! I'll be one of the thousands of people that will be leaving town to get some R & R and I'm
just thrilled.
I want to take this time to extend my thoughts and prayers
to the victims of hurricane Katrina. I've dipped into my "weekend get away funds" to contribute
to the relief efforts and I encourage others to also get involved.
