So... Utah Valley Marathon is coming up... all too quickly. June 11 I'll be running down Provo canyon...hopefully this year it won't rain...and I do have a cause. I will be running in honor of my mom who was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I have joined with Team Fox which is part of the Michael J. Fox Foundation. I hope to raise $1000 for the foundation. I only have a few weeks left before the marathon. My posts from now until then will likely be about how much I hate hills (particularly the hill to Logan temple and USU campus...no bueno), obnoxious "runner" girls (I will lovingly refer to them as the maneaters..), annoying bikers who think they own the road, and so on. Running isn't all bad though.. I have learned a lot about myself. For example:
1. There is a time when I actually do enjoy listening to "All the Single Ladies"
2. I am a germaphobe
3 I have good reason to be a germaphobe.
4. Runners are gross
5. I shouldn't run with open wounds
6. Running will always be hard
7. I can run a marathon
8. I can run a marathon in a dress.
9. At mile 20 a grape is the best thing I've ever eaten
10. The worst smell in the world is the bus to the start line...bananas and icy hot mmmm
11.Follow the old guys...they've been running since before you were born
12. Never underestimate the importance of a good pair of shoes
13. Running CAN make you happy
14. The harder the race the better the finish line feels
15. I can do hard things.
