T MINUS 19 DAYS AND COUNTING...


Well as of today I reached my fundraising goal of $3,600.00 and not a moment to soon, the money was due today!! Thank you to everybody that gave and to those of you that helped in other ways too numerous to mention here. A special thanks to my daughter Rebeccah and son Nate. They have been my training partners and water bearers!!! Without them I never would have made it this far.
This Saturday is the big 20 out at Nankin Mills Nature Center. There is usually a very big turn out for this as the Detroit Free Press marathoners use this as their long run as well. I am a bit nervous because I haven't been logging the miles I feel are necessary for me, but it is what it is!! And with only 19 days until the big event I need to prove to myself that I can do it, and I WILL!! When I think about my upcoming marathon I find myself quoting Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption when he is on the bus leaving for Mexico. He says, and I'll paraphrase, I find myself so excited it's hard to sit still, it is a excitement only a free man can feel. A free man... come October 22 at roughly 12:30pm PST I will be that and more.
