this is the year


7 years ago I rooted on my friend Tim (not my husband another one) a runner in the Portland Marathon. And I covered a few miles of it with some friends who were walking it. I really got the bug. I wanted to do the race someday - it was officially on my bucket list. I thought I'd do it a few years back but I started struggling with shin splints and then I got married.... and then I had some kids. Not to mention I don't actually like running so it wasn't always a high priority! But this year I have great running partners and 2 half marathons under my belt. Not to mention my barefoot shoes that have freed me from my shin pain! I'm even starting to like it a little! It's time. Time to make a run for it. I've registered for the Portland Marathon. Lord willing we'll be moving to P-town in July or August and then crossing 26.2 miles in October! This should be fun!

If anyone can do it, you can, Ab! You are such an amazin woman!!!! I was just on your website today and am just amazed at your work and how it has grown and flourished over the years. You inspire me but also make me feel a little like an underachiever. ;-) In a good way. Go for it, girl! I'm proud of you.
