"I want to run every race with a big heart."

I have several shirts from Detroit Races. I have ran all distances. The 5k, several half marathons and a few marathons.
The farthest back shirt I found was from 2007. I am pretty sure that was my first Half Marathon. I ran that with a torn ACL.
That was the FIRST time I tore my ACL, I tore it in October, I didn't know exactly what I had injured but I knew that if I went to the DR's they would NOT let me race. I promised myself to get through my half marathon THEN go and get accessed.
And I followed through and ended up having surgery just weeks later.
I have ran it with Lacey, and I have helped pace Claudia for her first Marathon in Detroit.
I didn't run today.
I did have a fabulous breakfast with my girlfriend Holly at the Broken Yolk in Lk Orion. They have the best Raspberry Crepes.
I also had a wonderful pre-race massage with Lacey at Massage Green.
But I didn't run.
I made my list for the race, packing enough for a half dozen races. Hopefully, I won't forget anything. Like the one year I ran with Danielle and forgot my running shoes for Rock CF half marathon.
True Story.
Typical Anita~
Good News, It is going to be 1' warmer at 42' now and SUNNY! The wind alert is GONE! I think I am going to attempt to wear a running skirt. And layer up on top.
You may not hear from me again until after my Marathon. Keep this pipsqueak in prayer. I am still nursing that injured leg.
Goal: sub 4 hour marathon.
Time: 3h:56min. Average pace 9min/mi. I would seriously do the happy dance if I ran that the way I have been feeling.
"We runners are all a little nutty, but we're good people who just want to enjoy our healthy, primitive challenge. Others may not understand running, but we do, and we cherish it. That's our only message."
