I have not blogges since the 20 miler. I am getting so excited and really want to do good this week at the 22 miles. Read Matt's blog.... this is what I posted in response to his blog.

Matt, those words are just what I needed to hear right now. I have struggeled all year with being sooo slow. But you know what, it is the best that "I" can do. I am not 25, I am not an "athlete", I am not a "tall, lean peson". I am ME. Just ME, but I am proud of ME and will be proud of all the hours that it takes me to finish the marathon. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined doing this. But I will and I will be proud of myself. Thank so much for your encouraging words and reminding all of us that we are unique. God did not create us exactly alike... and that is for a good reason. It takes all kinds to make this world a better place. Thanks again, and I will push myself to do better, the best that I can do.
