I wore this on Friday and thought about her all day:
And my mom, who lives in the Phoeniz area, sent me these updates:
Of course, she is crazy. In all the good ways. We all love you EMZ!
I haven't spent 24 hours on a treadmill lately, or even cumulatively in the past few weeks, but I did sign up to Run the Slam. Participants run in four of the six half marathons, get to compare their overall time with other runners, and get a unique four-part medal. It is limited to the first 150 participants. I figured since I am already registered for three of the six half marathon options, why not? So I signed up for the Slam and registered for another half marathon on September 10. That was the excitement around here. At least for a few days.
Then I remembered the St. George Marathon lottery results were being posted today and sat down at my computer this morning to find out my fate. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted that fate to be. Part of me wants to see what I can really do with 26.2 miles and the other part of me is happy running 13.1 miles, puke and all.
So I typed in my name and nothing appeared. I've been there. Two years ago, the same thing happened. Then I noticed it said to include my middle initial. So I entered it again with that additional little letter. And there is was. I'm in.
Still processing how I feel.
EMZ=Epic. Enough said. lol
ReplyDeleteCOngrats on getting in to the St. George Marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Run The Slam sounds pretty awesome!
I loved that she has a RunNerd sticker on her treadmill, too! She's amazing...over 100 miles...wow.
ReplyDeleteWoah, sounds like 26.2 was meant to be! Good luck with your training!
ReplyDeleteI saw the Runnerd sticker on her treadmill and thought that was so cool! Yay!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting in to SGM. Once you process it, I bet you'll be psyched and ready to get training. Hope so anyway ;-)
congrats on getting in! EMZ is totally crazy, but also completely awesome
ReplyDeleteCongrats on St. George.
ReplyDeleteHey! We wore the same shirt Friday. ;)
The stars have aligned for you.
ReplyDeleteMarathon begging you to run.
EMZ showing you that a few 20-milers on Millie will be no big deal.
AND a bunch of tune-up HM's.
All that's left is to keep up your effort and play with the McMillan Calculator. There's an awesome marathon finishing time in your future!
Congrats on getting in! I think I'm less than 50% on lotteries.
