The Charlotte Thunder Road Marathon is next weekend finally. It seems like Jason, Michael, and I have been talking about this forever. Now that it’s here, I’m not ready! Well, I’m sorta ready. I kind of slacked this week because Jason and Michael flew into town to pick up my car, so I missed out on 2 days of running. Not their fault of course, I just got lazy. I ran an easy 12 miles today, and I’ll run a couple more times before I fly to North Carolina. It should be interesting to run at sea level for once. I’m hoping that training at altitude will really help me to have a good race time. I’m shooting for 1 hour and 49 minutes for my leg of the relay (13.1 miles).

The Relay
Jason and Michael (my 2 sons for those of you who may be reading this and don’t know) and myself are going to be running a marathon relay in Charlotte, North Carolina on December 8th. I am running 13.1 miles, then Michael runs 3.1 miles, and then Jason finishes with a 10 miler. It should be a lot of fun and it will be cool running a relay with my2 sons. Hopefully the next time we run, we will all run together. Jason and Michael are going to be running a half marathon on Nov 4, so it will be interesting to see how they do. Jason has been training hard, and I know with Michaels work schedule, it’s hard for him to be consistent in his training, but he should be able to do it, just maybe not as fast as he wants.
I was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 3 marathons in a year and a half.
