Well, I'm just doing this blog so there will be one of there for someone to read because there aren't any on there for me to read. Since I have no life and reading blogs is a big part of my daily entertainment, I am bored!!!! I do worry that I am missing lots of your blog names in my reader but I keep going to the MM site and can't figure out which ones I have and which ones I don't. I know I don't have Floyd--Debra mentioned that you have one--what is your blogger name so I can put it on my list?
I am pretty bummed out about having to do three of the upcoming long runs on my own. And not neccessarily in fun or cool (as in temperature) places. This weekend, I'm gonna have to gut out 15 miles in Dallas if they aren't flooded everywhere--they've had daily rain forever I think. On June 23rd, I'm planning to go to New York to meet my son and his wife to be to check out wedding plans and places so I'll have to do that one up there. And, on August 25th, I'll be getting my makeup and hair done for their wedding that night! Don't think I want to be limping or exhausted for such a glorious occasion so I don't know what I'll do about that one. Maybe I'll do it on the Monday or Tuesday after I get home. I'm leaving on the Wednesday before the 25th so doing it early isn't such a good option either. And, you know, I DO depend on being with y'all to survive these long runs so I'm now pouting big time. But, we are marathoners, and I'll figure out something.
I'm pretty flattered that Mandy appears to be shocked that I am into the second half of my first 100 years of life. And she wonders how old I am. Now, I'm not one of these women who is ashamed of her age because I am grateful and happy to be alive and well! I have lots of friends who've lost siblings at a far younger age than I am so I celebrate getting older each year with gusto. I am doing the Half Marathon at Disney next January to celebrate my double nickel birthday--let's see if Mandy can figure that out. I know she can. And, I am old enough to be your mother, Mandy! My oldest son is 28 and I was finished with medical school when he was born! So there.
Carol and Courtney dancing!

Hallelujah (spelling?) for us GOOD LOOKING 54 year olds!! It must have been a banner year for the Bolivar County Hospital.
Floyd's blogspot is Eyes on the Prize.
Sorry we're going to miss you on those runs. As fast as you can run these days it probably wouldn't hurt to give yourself a complete break from at least one long run -- especially during wedding stress week.
Maybe by the time you get back in there will be some more blogging going on. It appears the weather is too hot and humid even to blog.
Keep us posted on your travels. I look forward to another bike ride adventure.

Carol,
I saw you and Jody running this morning on my way to work. I wanted to jump out and run with you. Have a good trip. Good news! I found a way to register for the Disney Half Marathon so I will be joining you guys! I am so excited. We will talk about it the next time we see each other.
I'm right there with you Carol. I will hit the double nickel in 2008 myself. Only it will be a year from next Wednesday, the 11th. I am a firm believer in the saying "I'm not getting older, I'm getting better." I hope you have a wonderful trip to New York for your son's wedding. Don't worry so much about the long run. I'll have my bicycle by then and maybe I can go with you to be your "water stops." See you soon,
Sheila
Hey Carol,
My bogspot is Eyes on the Prize. You are one of the ones I have marked and read all of your blogs. I am inspired and encouraged by you guys who have already earned a marathon medal. I look forward to it myself. I also know how tough it is to finish these long runs on your own. I won't be with the group on Saturday. Maybe I won't feel so bad when I know that others are running on their own too.
Still not buying it! You look so young! Maybe it's all this crazy running....
