Some of you kow I am running my first half marathon on Sunday. I need some inspiration for when I get cold, rained on, tired, bored, hurt, anxious, or feel like giving up. I thought a good idea would be to race in honor of people who are inspiring to me and also for those who have lost someone. Please comment and add anyone to this list!!! If I have room I will write on my arm. If not I will take a list and put it in a baggie to read when times get tough. You all will lift me up!! Just some of the people I will hold in my heart on Sunday: Marian Van Calbi, Bryn Olivia Van Caugherty, Connor Van Caugherty, Madison and Zoe Van Caugherty, in memory of their dad/co-parent and marathoner Peter Caugherty; Liz Miller Dawes and Scott Dawes, in memory of their son Connor;Greg and Kelly Morrisseau Larson, in memory of their son Matt; Tony and Joe Cassano, in memory of their son/brother Anthony; Kim Dorian Jamgochian, in memory of her brother Robert; Carla Pappalardo, in memory of her mom and mother-in-law; Alison Conroy, in memory of her parents; and also in memory of all my grandparents. Denis and Lynda Johnson Murphy, their amazing daughters Jaclyn and Taryn and everyone at Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, and Amy Nelson Duitsman youre awesome keep fighting!! And of course Mike McCusker, Brian Polk, André ThreeThousand, Kendall Polk, Lindsey Polk, Andrew Ryan, Katie McCusker and all the rest of my family and friends!! Again, please comment and add anyone to this list!!! Or just send some words of encouragement!! Cant think of any better way to get through about 2 1/2 hours of running then remembering all of you and your loved ones. XXOOO Wish me luck!!
