OK... here's the thing...
I really can not tell you for sure who it was that cased me to miss Saturday... It was either... God... telling me I needed some rest... I had a particularly long week... Friday after work (at Hinds) I made banana pudding for 200...then set up and catered a meal for 200 (had some help with that!) Packed up leftovers and delivered to two families with major health issues... visited a moment at each... made it home around 10 or a little after... got everything laid out and packed for my trip to Tupelo right after my run... had the swimming pool and ice loded in the truck!!! I mean... I was READY!!!
Alarm went off.... I was feeling ok.. turned it off... was not worried about drifting back off... BUT... I did... at 5:00 I woke up ... again and realized the earliest I could possibly get there was 1 hour late... Remember... I am a slowby! I did not want to show up and have anyone wait on me... I did not want to go and risk injury for rushing and being in a panic... ''hindsight.... I should have gone and done even half... I was so aggrivated... I had to get to Tupelo too... I even had arranged to shower at a friends so I could get to the family reunion w/out going back to Raymond!
I still can not believe I did that! I do know I am ready though... I won't be anywhere near the Kenyans or their offspring... but I will Be THere!
I am also open to the possibility that it very well could have been the "Devil who made me do it"!..... or in this case ... "NOT Do It!"... No Matter... I will move on from here... right where I am.... 3 weeks away from the CHICAGO MARATHON!
I missed you guys and the pictures were great!
Left Tupelo and went through Oxford and had lunch with my baby yesterday. Her birthday is tomorrow. She'll be 20! No longer a teenager! This time 20 years ago..... that one is for another day!
Marathon on all you GREAT People!

Sorry you missed the 22. I looked for your smiling face.
I decided to start with the 45,000 rather than early. It might get lonely at the end, but I think I'll be okay. I just feel weird starting early...like I'm breaking the rules and I am NOT a rule breaker. By the book...that's me.
Everything happens for a reason!!! Maybe you missed an injury by missing Saturday. Who can say? And, since no one can say, don't worry about it!! But the question that I have for you is "where are you getting capris with race ready pockets?" I really need to know :)!!
Oversleeping, the story of my three month absence from Saturday group runs in the spring and early summer. I just could NOT get out of bed so many of those Sat a.m.s so early. I went by myself, and that worked. I concur with the "everything happens for a reason". I have Tracy Wofford calling me now on Saturday a.m.s at 4, just to make sure I don't oversleep. She NEVER oversleeps.
I was wondering where you were! The extra time you spent being a good samaritan to those families in need is time well spent. You will be rewarded in many ways...a Chicago Marathon medal just being one of them!
I WONDERED WHY I DIDN'T SEE YOU SATURDAY!!!!
Sometimes I think the guilt is worse than making yourself get out of bed early. Oh, well, you've got a great attitude and you will be great in Chicago!!!!! Can't wait!
Sorry you missed the day- Mark can advise, I am sure...
Missed you Saturday. I am notorious for over sleeping and missing runs, SusanW calls me every Saturday am
