Couch to Beacon: Redemption
Shannon Bryan still can't run, but she believes in second chances. She's giving the Beach to Beacon 10K another shot (you know, after last year's tragic failure. But let's not bring that up).
See you on the other side
Remember that post this morning that said later today I'd post some words of wisdom? I lied. I don't have any.
But if you're really in the need, try this collection of inspirational running quotes.
This is my last entry before the race, so before I toss myself to the will of the running gods, I wanted to say "Thanks" for the support and good humor you've offered along the way.
Thanks for reading, thanks for posting and thanks for the e-mails.
For those of you running tomorrow, good luck! You'll do great.
And even if you don't it's just a race. Nothing major can happen.
Well, actually you could get hurt. But no worries, the pain can only last an hour or two.
Actually that's not true - you could permanently damage something. But you won't die.
Well, unless...I should stop.
I'll be back for a post-race wrap up on Monday, but until then I'll be lounging on the Saco River (with beer), getting some rest (with beer), taking it easy (with beer) and enjoying the sense of accomplishment (with beer).
See you on the other side.

Haven't they seen "American Pie"?

Casting Call
ENJOY your run tomorrow, Shan! And the same to all the other runners as well! Breathe in that fabulous fresh air, lift your head up high, and float like you're wearing wings! I must disagree, though....it's not "just a race". It's truly a joy and a blessing...that you have the good health to participate, that you have the freedom to enjoy, that you have that beautiful landscape to cast your eyes upon, that you have friends to share it with, that you have legs strong enough to carry you from start to finish! It's been a goal. It will be an ACCOMPLISHMENT....the facing of a challenge with head held high! ENJOY IT WITH PRIDE!!!
And as your Mom, Honey, and your SYNOF (STILL YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN), I am AGAIN so very proud of you! I may be 1000 miles away, but know I'm there in my heart to greet you at the FINISH LINE! Have a FABULOUS RUN!
Love,
