The Fargo marathon and half marathon are this saturday. The time is now…the nerves are building, the excitement, anxiety building…what will the weather be like? Did I do enough to get ready? Above all…Remember to have FUN! There will be a large group of “Watertownians” there this weekend, and a lot of us are meeting friday night to have some good food. Jill, Jackie, Steve A, Tim, Tracy, Holly, Beth, Megan, Tom and Sue, Steve H and Carletta, and Sarah and I. “Gettin’ ready for a good time!” This morning when I went out for a short run, the double rainbow was staring right at me…I had to quit go back in the house to get the camera, as it was all done in about 10 min.
Now, I don’t know if there is actually a “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow, but it was sure cool to look at. It made for a great, relaxing run. Just time to think. Maybe today this meant I was going for my goals, that I had worked hard to get ready for this day coming on saturday. The biggest joy of all of this is I run because I can! Many people cannot. Sometimes for those of us who do run, we get more worried about our times, when we should be realizing what we really are getting out of all of this. We run because we like it. It does not really matter our time. We made the effort to go for this goal, and it is coming soon. I felt really relaxed running seeing this before hand. Maybe the marathon should have been today…I think I would have been flying!
So, to all of my fellow Watertown friends going this weekend…Good Luck! Be safe! Have fun! This is what it is all about. Don’t make this another stress to have in your life. Enjoy it for what it is. Relax, and go show YOURSELF how YOU can do, because YOU are the ones who put in all the work! Good Luck!
Keep moving everybody!
