Going down the rails of a crazy train

Time has zoomed by this past month. This will probably be one of the last blogs of Running Disney East & West before going to the new blogs. Carol, Hallie, Susan, Michelle, T'knesha and I leave for Orlando this Thursday. I don't feel ready, but I'll finish even if I have to crawl over the finish line. No P.R. for me. My California friend, Jackie said she'll be running with me no matter how slow I am. Yep, I'm a turtle through and through. I'm signed up for LMM again. I've found I have to have a goal in order to keep getting out there and pounding the pavement. Training this year with the group, but not doing Chicago was not as enjoyable to me as the previous two years. I'm glad I did two totally different races, but I look forward to meeting new people, getting know some of the alumni better, and going to Chicago. I look at running as a long term thing, physically and mentally. I look at the people I know who can't run even if they wanted to, and the people who could, but don't, but really need to, and know I'm not going to be one of those people. This is the one thing I do for me. So here we go again. Hope to see all of you out there in blogland at the movie on the 24th and the meeting on the 26th.

Okay, now I've got that Crazy train song stuck in my head all day... Good luck in Orlando, and don't worry about your speed. A finish is a finish, and unless your a Kenyan, it doesn't make a difference, does it? Take care and I'll be watching for an update soon! -cg
