Owie, I need some prayers

Audrey and I went running in the rain this morning. It might be raining for the race on Saturday so I thought I would "practice" in the rain. Besides that, when I texted Audrey this morning asking if we were going in the rain she said 'sure'. FINE! So I peeled myself off my mattress. Well for one thing it was tough. Yes, getting out of my cozy bed. No, not the rain, just the running part. I couldn't tell if it was the long restricting pants I was wearing or the fact that my legs weighed 300 pounds each? And we noticed that it was harder to breath in the heavy air.

My knee did pretty good until about half way through. It wasn't really 'hurting' so I took it easy. But now it is kind of sore. Also my left shin was being a hinder during the run. Whaa, whaa, whaa. K, I'm done. The rain actually felt kind of nice when I got warmed up. And this was the first time I wore a ball cap while running. I need to remember to take it. It kept the rain out of my face pretty good. We did make it 4.25 miles though.

SOOO what I am asking is that you ALL say several prayers for me. Oh ya, and for Doran. Oh and Jason is running too so include him. Jason and I are running the 10k and Doran is running the 1/2 marathon. He has never run that far before but I know he can do it!! He is a HE MAN. I just wish my brother, Jon, was running too. He is too busy on vacation. Psha!

How in the world do those people train for a marathon? They amaze me! My only goal is to look like this....

But currently, I look like this. Really!
