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!
