You registered already?!? I may be joining you. I on the other hand won't be registering until the very last minute HAHAHAHAA
Here we go!!!!! I'm excited for you and hope you don't get hurt. If I run into some extra cash between now and Jan. I'm totally there!!
Woo hoo! We knew you couldn't stay away.
Way to go, Betsy! Arizona in January sounds like fun.
Congratulations......go for it. you will do fine. I will be following your progress because I hope to run this same race soon myself. I have run Rock N Roll Marathon in San Diego and loved it.....
Sorry it has been so long since I last visited. End of school year, I am sure you understand better than most.
Good for you. You have plenty of time to heal up and train. Either way, life's short, let's play hard. Whatever happens, happens. Enjoy!
Congrats on jumping off the fence. I'm envious~
Wooo HOOO! That is great!
