My own Academy Award speech

I’d like to thank the Academy…..or maybe this sums it up best.

Thank you….

….to my heart and soul for showing up for my 16.4 mile long run today

….to my shins for displaying a new level of toughness

….to my husband for coming out to check on me just when I needed it most

….to the wind – wait, scratch that.  After 2 days of gusty winds, we are presently not on speaking terms
.....to my BodyGlide for covering all the right places

.…to my husband and friends who are injured, yet make a point to support me and ask about my run

….to friends who have told me I inspire or motivate them (what a gift to know that)

….to my blogger friends who continue to inspire me through your running and non-running experiences

The wind, a stomach issue, and bad sleep all kicked my butt today.  But you know what?  I kicked back.  And boy, that felt good!
