It's so hard to believe that a year has gone by since we ran the Half Marathon portion of the Kansas City Marathon!!
In the photo below I believe we were around the 11 mi. mark. . .still feeling perky enough to smile for the pix! haha
Karen (on the right) and I have worked hard all year long to get to this point again. We have met, on a regular basis to increase our long miles and to work on getting faster on our short runs. We've made so many new running/walking friends this year through the various groups we've joined. . .it's just amazing!
Like last year, our KC ROYALS were ready to try to win a spot in the World Series! The whole town was decked out in blue as were we! This is a photo I took as we ran through the Plaza (a few miles before the photo above).
We had just finished the run in this picture! Even the water fountain at Crown Center, where the race starts and finishes, was a gorgeous blue!! I'm sure it is this year, too!!
Yes, we, just like thousands of other runners and walkers, have worked hard for months to be ready for this weekend, whether they are participating in the Marathon, Half-Marathon or the 5K. Starting in the freezing cold of the new year , right through the blazing heat of the summer months, ending in the fallish coolness this morning as we got in a short "headlamp" run . . .one last little run before the half tomorrow. . .WE ARE READY! :)
Good luck to all of my family members and friends who will be participating in the various events tomorrow, too! It will be so fun to see so many happy faces. . .and fast feet!! :)
THE STONE RABBIT was pictured here last year with my new lucky shirt and an exciting headline from the KC STAR paper!! Well, I'll be wearing that shirt tonight as we anxiously watch the first game of the ROYALS against the BLUE JAYS in the ALCS!!
Don't forget to visit Beverly's blog, HOW SWEET THE SOUND, for a long list of other bloggers who are ready with their weekly Pink Saturday shares!!

You have my utmost respect for doing this. I need to get back in the habit of doing something. Hard to do after so long.
