A Big Shout Out To My Girls

Today is the Long Island Half and Full Marathon and I have at least 8 girlfriends running in it, not to mention countless members of my training team. I hosted a pre-race dinner last night for them and it made me feel "part of" the race, even though I chose not to race it. With my aggressive race schedule this season, I didn't think it was necessary to add a half marathon... even though it is one of my favorite events. Call it being cautious, call it wimpy, I change my mind depending on the day. But alas the day of the event is here and I ran an 8 miler this morning in honor of the event. But solo, not with 20,000 others. So hats off to Joanne, Pamm, Cyndi, Glo, Cath, Regina, Kim and Ali for participating in today's race.
