Hi Lola,

Thank you. I cannot wait for your first marathon report also.
Just remember not to skip your long runs. They are the cornerstone of your training.

Kevin,
Thank you. You just don't know how happy I was to see you there. It really had given me a second wind. When I grow up, I want to be like you and Kirsten...running rock stars.

Thank you, Kirsten (running coach)

I could not have done this without you. You were encouraging when I needed it and you were tough on my behind when I wasn't "up to par". I needed all of the above. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It was a hoot celebrating with you! I am so proud!! Are you ready to do it again??!?!

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Thank you Ms. Shell. I might join you on the City of Angels 1/2.
Just remember that your long runs on the weekends is your "meat and potatoes" of your training. Don't miss them.
