Marathon Weekend…
ONE DAY: http://www.rundfmc.org/2010/betsyg
It’s like the entire holiday season jam-packed into three days. The excitement, the preparations, the anxiety, the friends and family to see and visit with, the emphasis on [healthy] food and drinks [water],and people to thank that have made your journey (since the last marathon) easier, more enjoyable, and more do-able.
I kicked off marathon weekend third-grade style, with some absolutely beautiful surprise artwork by my students:
my personal favorite, "You're our #1"
"Stay in the race!" and "Don't give up!" were their words of encouragement
Then the excitement continued on Friday evening, as I was a guest on “Broadside” on NECN with Jim Braude. Sure, why not do a little plug for Dana Farber and play a pop culture news IQ quiz?! Sounded like a great idea until I woke up on Friday morning with the voice of an 85 year old smoker.
Since then I’ve been trying to lay low and kick this sinus infection in time for Monday. Fingers crossed! Fred and I went to the Expo to pick up our numbers this morning, and now it’s just water, carbs, and movies from here on out!
