Doing something for your self

Most of us at our advanced age, have spent out entire lives doing things for other people. Kids mothers fathers, grand kids.
Well, in two days on Sunday October 21 2012 my wife and I do something for ourselves.
We run the international Detroit 1/2 marathon.
We have been training and working hard these last few weeks, especially may wife. There was a time a few weeks ago that she did not know if she could make the race, not enough training.
I on the other hand have been focused and since may, have logged almost 500 miles of training.
We do not expect to win, we do not expect to post a great time.
We do however expect to finish, and we will run side by side and work to get each other through the race to the finish line.
You know what?
That is the real goal, is to finish and do something for ourselves.

I keep using the saying grin with the big dogs ! It basically means, you can' t run with the big dogs if you don't get off the porch.

Well, we are off the porch and are running with the big dogs.

No I consider us the big dogs, at 63 and 58, we are the big dogs.

So to everyone who is still on the porch get off, and do something.

Take care and check back later
