Marathon: My personal journey

Thank you all who have served and sacrificed the most. I was reminded of the significance of this day, as I walked through the cemetery at Fort Douglas.

I love this quote from the headstone of Douglas Coy Miles. Thank you for your sacrifice, you are a true hero.

"Men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause"

I listened to this last night and it took me through a range of emotions, don't forget to smile!

For longer distance races, I like to run to music. One creative thing that I LOVE to do is ask my friends to select a song for me to play during the race. It's a song I play and think of them. You will really enjoy the songs that come your way.

One year during the Chicago Marathon, I would YELL the persons name as the song came on. My fellow runners really thought I was crazy. :)

Aggravate a neighbor's dog, so she runs after you for one mile. This translates into a 1 and a half minute pace improvement. BOOM!
