Today was the first day that I saw a runner out on the road and I got excited.
"GO RUNNER!" the girls and I yelled in unison in the car.
All week when I've passed a runner I've had a myriad of other thoughts:
Ugh, I want to throw up.
Wow, that looks like a lot of work.
Is it really and truly possible that I did that for 5 hours?? (And 15 minutes?!) For 26 miles?
Yup, after a week that started with soreness and ended in pretty nasty sickness, I think it's time to lace up the sneakers and hit the road again. The girls (running, not little) and I are already planning our next adventure. The word "triathlon" keeps getting tossed around and, despite my enormous fear of the water, I find myself nodding and saying things like, "I'm in" or "With the right medication I think I could do that" causing me to turn and look to see who is speaking on my behalf.

about me:
My name is Suzanne Carver. I live in a house of girls with my partner and two daughters in Maine. I am a full time mom, full time overachiever, part time massage therapist, vegetarian and compulsive exerciser. At best I have a B average in parenting. I can play Brown-Eyed girl on the guitar, I love to climb mountains, cook, write, garden, ride my bike, and dream up things to do that fill my soul and exhaust my time. My life's work at the present is to determine the line between being a mom and being me- where one feeds or takes from the other- and trying to find the ying and yang where they exist in harmony. When I figure it all out, I promise to let you know.

I have no doubt whatsoever that you could and would pull this off girl... GO FOR IT!!!!!
Funny. I have this same experience, Suzanne. I told Amy yesterday that each time I complete a race I feel like I start from scratch the next time I run. I feel like I can't possibly run and that there is no way in the world I could ever run a marathon. I feel anxious and overwhelmed and then my feet hit the streets and my mouth starts jabbering and it all comes back to me :o) I can't wait to get out there with you on Saturday morning. Just like old times!
