Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Ride the Brainwave/Children and the Earth foundation 5k. Team Superhero Gage to rock the party. I'm not posting this as a race report bc its hardly a race. A gun goes off, you run 3 miles, no one cares how long it takes you. They are off on the course and its more of a big party. So I don't know how long it took me bc I forgot to start my garmin for awhile. I ran with my cousins wife which was fun. I made my kids all get out of bed and do it too. Some were happy, some weren't. The boys rode their bikes and Oliver crossed the finish line in 3rd place, he thought he was rad. The girls both walked the whole thing with Gretch and the stroller. My parents cheered at the finish. 
It was fun. A lot of stories, a lot of sad. But its nice to turn those things into a positive and raise money for families & Celebrate life a little. Some of the stories are people who don't spend much time outside of a hospital so Its nice to see them get to party a little. Always tugs at the heartstrings. Anyway, Gretch and Troy found it very important to put together a team gage and donate the proceeds. They both feel a deep responsibility to help other people bc so much was done for them. I love that they have paid it forward like they have. It says a lot about them. Which was one of the reasons it was so easy for people to give to them in the first place. They have always been humbly grateful. 
Anyway, packing/cleaning/hopefully sleeping and then off to drive 12 hours tomorrow. Wahoo!
Every body DANCE NOW!
