Dear Think::

It seems crazy to me that when I first met you I didn't even own a pair of running shoes. 
I think it was for two reasons
 1. I didn't exercise and
 2. I was too poor to buy any.

Last month I finished my second marathon.  Running for me has been a true miracle, really.

Today I am leaving for Richmond, Virginia to attempt my third marathon tomorrow morning.
I feel totally unprepared for this one, but love having people cheer for me.
I am slow.  Really slow, but I am determined and I love starting and finishing a project and being able to do it all one day is fun for me.

I came up with this clever idea of how to save a memento of my marathon without having to save a bunch of shoes.  I painted the bottom of the shoe I ran in, in October and pressed it onto paper for me to put in a frame or scrapbook.

That way I can find a better use for my shoes than sitting in my garage.

Wish me luck!

LOVE the idea. Now I'll actually have to run a marathon to do it.

I LOVE this idea! I'm doing a fun run with my kids on Thanksgiving morning. It would be fun to get everyone's footprint after the race and display it for them to be proud of.
