Om..........................

One week from this moment and I will be someone where on the course of the Detroit marathon, having a blast, and living out a dream. How freaking exciting is that thought?

Had a nice 8 mile run yesterday, and did a nice consistent 12 minute mile pace. Now my schedule calls for a couple of two mile distances and resting this week. I am trying to fill the extra time with lots and lots of positive, relaxing thoughts. I am pretty much doing only fun things. Like Kate, no house cleaning for this lady. How often does one have the excuse not to clean. Well, come to think of it I have been having quite a few excuses the past months. And our since we brought the outdoor plants in for the winter the kitten has been in heaven playing in the pots and throwing the dirt all over the floor in the process, but heck, it goes quite nice with the leaves that blow in when the door is open. Maybe I should market it to interior decorators, like those bars that have the peanut shells all over the floor and are considered cool. Probably not...

I took a color bath with lots of essential oils in it last night to balance my energy levels. I slept like a baby, and feel all calm and patient this morning. Think it will last until noon? Wouldn't want to bet on it, but there is always a chance now isn't there!

Thanks again to all of you that have been supporting me over the past months, through the ups and downs of my training. It would not have been the same without you, and you are are going to be sharing in my victory, because you are a big part of it. Huge love and gratitude to you all!
