Hey Friends, Runners, Athletes!!

You are, you're athe...fricken...letes!!!

You need to scream that to the world let it know

"I'M AN ATHE...FRICKEN...LETE!!!"

I've done it. It feels good. And when the arresting

officer asked me why I was screaming at 5:00 in the morning...

No just kidding. But seriously you are ready! You've trained, you've sacrificed,

and now it's time to see what it's all about. You are going to so love it.

And hours after it's over and you're on the town or the sofa, which has been my preferred locale,

you'll be able to look back and laugh cause you just did the New York City Marathon Baby!!

I must admit, I'm beginning to miss that feeling!

If had to defer to next year again, my darn foot but I refuse to let it get me down.

I will be back. In fact TMF runner and Doctor, Donna Rimby has turned me on to

ART, Active Release Technique and when I get home I'm going to follow up on some

doctors she has referred me to and hopefully be able to run it next year.

Well that's all for know I just wanted to wish all the runners good luck, although I

don't think anyone will really need it. Have fun, listen to your body, lose yourself

in the experience and just go for a run.

You will perservere!
