It ticks away

Every moment every minute

Minute details needing attention

But I’m in it

Invested heavily

Steadily keeping course

I feel no remorse

The choice has been made

Dues paid

One month to go

Still don’t know

What is waiting out there

I am eager

I feel ready

The road is ahead

The world beneath my feet

The view from my run

Isn't he cute?!!

Today I’m just sitting here thinking about all the help I’ve received thus far. I’m so grateful for my good long time friends.

The small victories add up. I am truly thankful for having them all behind this cause. One person that I am especially thankful for though is my mom. She is such a wonderful, beautiful person. She is so caring and will go to the ends of the earth to see me succeed. I mean it’s just incredible that she has made my mission her own. I must have done something very right in another lifetime to have such a wonderful mom...

I trained with my friend Dave this morning at the gym. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a big fan of running on a treadmill. Running in place just doesn’t do it for me. I guess I just love the scenery and the sense of reaching a place.  The one thing the gym did provide us with was a bit of comic relief. A portly older gentleman was walking around the gym half naked and ended up walking into the girls’ locker room. There he proceeded to strip down butt naked...
