ps GOOD NOTE

on a good note, barnes and noble FINALLY called me (i think it's been two wks since i ordered!) to tell me the non runners guide to marathons is in!! and lo and behold, there is an 'educator's appreciation' reception or some such thing...and LO AND BEHOLD, i'm an EDUCATOR as a homeschooling momma,....and so, i get a discount. ... even for PERSONAL things during THIS SPECIAL RECEPTION! like 25% off! too cool, huh? whatta deal. at just the right time. it will be hard to sit still and just read, instead of run too. but i'll try.

C also gave me a bunch of her old issues of runner's world. i've been poring thru those. lots of ???? answered therein! ALSO, (as if that weren't enuff) i checked out every single book i could find last wk on running...from the library. i've been reading bill rodgers' stories (of running and marathons) and other personal stories of running greats. lots of people i've HEARD of before...and i KNOW i'm not in their league...but you know, it's so weird...i know that i'll never run a marathon in record time but i feel like i will have JOINED THE RANKS when i do complete one....some day...

did i just write that? do you realize, heretofor(e) i have not once acquiesced that i WANNA do a marathon?? i'm just on amber's training-for-a-marathon schedule. but it was, at most, to do a 1/2 marathon. the more i read and the more i talk to other runners...the more i'm THINKING about it. if nothin'else, i could TRAIN for it, and just get better at running shorter 'races!'

ahhhh me.
can't wait to get my 'guide!'
in Him,
