Preparation (prĕp'ə-rā'shən) - now what does that word mean to you? I learned this word well last weekend. Here is what the dictionary says it is....The act or process of preparing.
The state of having been made ready beforehand; readiness
The state of having been made ready beforehand; readiness
I had the opportunity to go with some AMAZING friends to a beautiful place called Moab, Utah. We drove many hours, ate yummy food, cooped ourselves up in one small hotel room and yup did some running. It was their annual half marathon. The only problem was I guess you are suppose to prepare yourself for running this dang thing. Well, I DID NOT! I signed up months before knowing that I had many months to prepare, but due to the MONSTROPULOUS snow season there was NO running going on. I think I ran three times in three months. So I downgraded to the 5 miler and truly STRUGGLED the whole dang way. I was so proud of my fellow running buddies, and new running buddies who PREPARED themselves for this race. I truly have learned a new life lesson by going on this trip. "BE PREPARED"

Proud of you for 'showing up'! If I would have shown up, it would have been called "Preparation H"! ! ! You're an animal-woman . . . you would have thunk our winter would have been so wild? You inspire me to actually 'walk out' and get the mail each day! You're my hero, missy - keep up the great work. You're a winner (or is that weiner) no matter what. Sorry, Do-do, I seem to be in 'one of those moods'! CONGRATS
(PS - I deleted the first post - too many spelling mistakes!)
Way to go Heather! I'm proud of you. I gave up on a marathon a long - long time ago. You go girl!
Do you & Holly want to do the little red riding hood in Logan June 7th with me?
