And for every mile beyond what you think is possible (when it starts to suck completely) you run that mile for someone else - your daughter, a relative, a friend in need, someone battling an illness, troops fighting for our freedom, people who lost their homes in the tornadoes, people in Japan - because you can. And don't forget to take walk breaks so you can take blog pics for us!Jen Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970402412878154592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-48870174416131855472011-05-04T09:04:39.033-06:002011-05-04T09:04:39.033-06:00And too bad you didn't get to hit up the Provi...And too bad you didn't get to hit up the Providence Half this past weekend.

Take some pictures along the way so we can see how amazing your views were and this will also keep you busy enought to get threw the 4 loops. Have a great time as well. <br /><br />A puppy?

Keep on drinking small sips of water. I'd recommend taking the handheld. It takes a few miles to get used to it, but after that, you won't notice it's there. Promise. :)Silly Girl Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874530581210075136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-38512647121319345742011-05-03T23:47:49.597-06:002011-05-03T23:47:49.597-06:00Are you kidding?!

We did a half that was a loop, and others went on to turn it into a marathon (2 loops) or more (3) loops. Best food ever! Coke and hot dogs, gummi bears and pretzels. I bet you get lots of energy on the course!<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219457885959637135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-21637190827396212642011-05-03T17:20:11.490-06:002011-05-03T17:20:11.490-06:00I have TOTAL confidence in you :D.
