Wow! I can't believe its getting closer. One trait that I'm happy to have but is pretty much infuriating to everyone around me is I tend to have unexplained confidence that I can do something even if there is no evidence that I'm capable of it. I don't sweat it, I just power forward with all my might and get it done. I'm training for the marathon but I have no worries about not finishing. I know I will give it all I've got; that's just what I do.
My tendonitis in my ankle and bone spurs are acting up so I'm trying to be wise but man I really just want to go out tomorrow and run 26.2 just to prove I can do it. Can I yet, probably not; but that rarely stops me. I'm not the most mature person. I'm not the most wise person. But I'm a pretty determined person and with age, fairly responsible and I am aware of my limitation to the point that I don't want to screw up my chances of participating in the marathon by being stupid now. Plus if there is one thing Simon has taught me, it is slow and steady wins the race. Patience, grace and quiet dignity will never be part of my personality but I try to fake it sometimes.
With every passing day I get more and more excited to have this accomplishment behind me and say, yeah, that's me, I did that!
