DIG DEEP...all the way TO CHINA DEEP

I have this crystal clear memory of running all bundled up in the winter, on Canyon Rd heading towards Monroe to begin the old Ben Lomond loop having Lori tell us about how insane the Great Wall of China Marathon training is and how you actually train to run stairs...I have always wanted to see China- these were my thoughts as I was walking this morning. It is amazing how much more running I think I am capable of when I am walking :) 25 weeks of pregnancy and my walking/stretching is going great and I am feeling great- great enough to sign up for the Great Wall of China Marathon! Sorry no new up to date "fit pregnancy stuff"

So girls as you train just chat "dig deep all the way to china deep"

You are both psycho. Yup. Its official. Someday I will go to China, and stroll along the great wall and have lots of beautiful pictures from it, and I will STILL be able to walk the next day.

Lori said...

you're just scared. admit it. you think it'd be cool, you're just a pansie.

...or maybe you're afraid your clumsy friend lori will push you off the side.

oh.

maybe you have a reason to be scared.
