    Okay. I took the plunge. I'm mailing my application in today. I'm going to run the Asbury Park Relay Marathon as a team of 1 (so I'm basically just running a marathon I guess...). It's on October 18, 2009. Wish me luck. I have 8 months to worry. I mean train.

    Bring it on.

      Come on Jill, you owe it to yourself. Have some "Me" time and let the children be proud of you Big grin Just trying to be motivationalShy
      My children are proud of me. My older son asks me how far I run every day. And then he tells me if it's WAY WAY TOO FAR (he's 4) or if I should have run further. He's got some interesting ideas on how far I should be running.

      Bring it on.

        Jill you will do GREAT!!! And I think it's soo cute that your son is proud of you!!!! I only offered my situation as a reason on why I can go a little crazy.

          Jill, I was tucking my almost-4 year old in one night last month, and we were doing a little guess-how-much-I-love-you (there's a children's book where a baby bunny and his daddy do this and make up sillier, crazier, bigger answers). I asked her "Do you know how much I love you?" Her answer? "Five miles." Shan, I've done one of the Enviro-Sports races (shorter distance), and found the organizers lived up to their local reputation of putting on a good race. You've got quite a schedule there!

            Awww...that's really funny and sweet at the same time. I know my son really likes going to my races. Though I think he's finally not so bummed when mommy doesn't "win." I think he's figuring out that mommy's not ever going to win a race, but he's glad that I'm not last, either. Smile

            remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.
