I'm currently in Pittsburgh at my Aunt's house--willing my body to get rid of this cold and my foot to heal up and the rain to stay away. And by the way, thanks so much for all the sweet comments on the
previous post. I have great friends and now feel like I
have to qualify (run under 3:40) because I don't want to come back here and have to report that I didn't. Don't worry, I will blame it on cold/foot/weather if need be. And don't forget to follow my race results in the sidebar from 7:30 to
hopefully no later that 11:10. I'll forgive you if you don't though. It's really early.
In the meantime, Victoria took these pictures (that I love!!!) of our little family. Finley is wearing seersucker pants. Seersucker, kids.
And here is Finley with his best friend, the orange balloon. I am pretty sure this is what he looked like in the womb. It was pretty cramped quarters in there.
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! So glad I could spend it with you.
1. Give that boy a hat and he is ready for the Kentucky Derby tomorrow. My most memorable Derby day was the one in Boston when my new camera was lost/stolen and I drank my sorrows away on blueberry beer at Boston Beer Works and later at Giacomo's. Turns out Bob wasn't mad. He's a keeper!
ReplyDelete2. Super good luck, I am sure you can do it!
3. I'm a little sad you didn't title your post "Ready to Run" after the great Dixie Chicks song. Maybe you are just waiting rather than ready, due to ailments, but I hope you hum the Dixie song to yourself as extra motivation from me when times get rough.
Thank you Sol for popping your son's collar. Oh man...Good luck Rachel!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for seersucker! ANd best of luck to you. You'll do great. Either way running a marathon is still a GREAT accomplishment!!!
