From leslie on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 10:47:51 from 76.23.61.78

Your first marathon is VERY EXCITING!!!!

I know you will get butterflies in stomach everytime you think about it! It is GREAT! The journey you will take to get there is half the fun, enjoy every flippin' minute of it. If you decide to take it easy I will be there in the back for you, if you decide to push it Maurine will be there for you, you have so many friends, they will be along the route for you and you can pick your pace and have a wonderful time. You will be totally hooked forever!!! There is nothing in the world like it!!!

From tarzan on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 11:38:37 from 63.255.172.2

I am soooooo excited for you....

The first marathon is soooo special. Heck, I used to cry during my final long runs just picturing myself crossing that finish line. You will never forget your first finish.

From tarzan on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 11:39:40 from 63.255.172.2

When is the Onion Days race? I need to get it on my calendar!

From josse on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 23:08:46 from 70.193.42.37

From Marathon Marion on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 23:35:45 from 71.219.55.144

Josse- It will be slow, but it will be fun. There is NO pressure for this baby and finishing anytime that day is ok with me ;)

Maurine- We'd love to have you, but Washington is my favorite place. I don't see how you could leave :D

From azdesertmonsoon on Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 00:14:32 from 63.228.146.159

When did it become "Marathon Marion"? Was there some event or epiphany that caused the change?

From Marion on Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 00:18:22 from 71.219.55.144

I just signed up for my first marathon ;) and I love alliteration. That's why I married my husband, so my monogram could be m squared ;)

From azdesertmonsoon on Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 02:28:10 from 63.228.146.159

So June 13th is the big day. Congratulations!
