Let's hear it for Kathy, Vicki, Dawn, and Colleen, who will be running their first 1/2 marathon this weekend in St. Pete, Florida. These ladies are part of our local Florida running, bloggy Turtle family (not that they're turtles... they're just kind enough to have befriended this turtle!). They're also part of my Daily Mile family. Good luck, friends! ROCK your race, Sunday! Weather should be on your side... yay!
A shout-out to our enthusiastic, never-sleeping, cookie-loving, Chi-town running, blogging little redhead friend, Morgan, who's participating in Ragnar today through Saturday, and will be running her leg of a race that cuts across our state. You go, girl! Show 'em how it's done!
And some 'final week' shout-outs to friends who will be racing next week and finishing up their very focused training in anticipation of some awesome PRs....
Saundra, who will be running the Atlanta Marathon Nov 26th. She had some great Random Thoughts yesterday... can you say Turducken?? ha ha....(I still need to google this one!)
Amanda, who's dealing with the weather (can you say r-a-i-n) as she enters her final week before the Seattle Half, trying to keep her running shoes clean, and has a PLAN. She's ready, world.... look out! Here she comes!
Sending good vibes and lots of turtle hugs from Orlando to these cool gals who will representing our running/blogging family... if you haven't already, please send them your running love!
ROCK YOUR RACES, LADIES!!
My Thankful Three
Today, I am thankful for:
- A (pre) Thanksgiving lunch with my sweet grandmother ("Gran") who's celebrating her 85th holiday season this year...
- The fact that it's FRIDAY, and I have the next 9 days off from work... yay!!!
- Coffee! (headed to the kitchen now....)
Happy running, friends.....

Thanks so much for the well wishes Robin! I'm so excited - and so nervous!! If I'm still able to move, I'll see you early Thanksgiving morning for the Turkey Trot!
I love shout out posts because I love reading race reports and now I know whose to look for! I also love coffee and I'm on my 3rd cup!
There might not be a lot of runners this weekend (good luck to all of you!), but they'll be a lot on Thursday!
Nine days off? In a row? I'm so jealous. Enjoy them!
I will keep Amanda on track...and ready for the 1/2...Lordy the darn rain.
Robin, thank you for the shout out! I am excited and nervous about my first half marathon. Even if I am walking/running it, it will be a huge accomplishment for me. I am looking forward to it. Thanks for your support and well wishes.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Turkey Trot. Hopefully I will still be able to move.
