Not since before Dad died have I donned a bib and ran in a race. I will tomorrow. I am feeling the empty space he left behind. I can imagine I will feel it along the route tomorrow as well.
When I ran before I could always count on seeing him along the route in at least 8-10different places and then of course at the finish line. He was an expert at finding a spot, cheering me on as I ran by, then jumping in his truck to get to the next spot before I got there.
I am excited to do this! Funny how time changes things. I never thought I would do this again...but here I am, drinking my fluids and making sure I eat a good CHO filled dinner. All thanks to friends.
Whoo who!

Now I feel even worse that we aren't going to be there! You will be awesome good luck. And and cheesey as it sounds I know your dad will be there too, he'd never miss it!
Glad I was able to be a part of your return to the "race world". You seemed like you were having a great time on the course today. Two more months and we can do it again. I missed you at the gym this week. Maybe some light workouts on your week off???
Well, I'm to good at cheering you on in 8 different places, but I thoroughly enjoyed waiting for you at the almost finish line. I'm very proud of you--not just for your amazing performance today, but the amazing way you perform in all you do.
awesome leslie! hope it turned out good...hope to hear all about it soon!
I didn't realize how momentous this was Leslie! (not that just regularly running a half marathon isn't momentous on it's own, but still.) so cool. congrats!
I want an update and hear all about your experience! I hope you had a great race day!
Leslie, you're my hero.
