Twas the night before Mudder weekend,
Not a thing is packed, not even the beer.
The laundry is spinning, and the spandex with much care.
Beeping all around, now the dryer, next the alarm.
..I'm ready.
Set Go.
Tomorrow's no track meet but it sure feels like I'm back at school, getting ready for PAC's. Not packed,Cant eat, cant sleep, and all that's on my mind is how I'm going to run- to survive. Just the thought of these 10+ miles hits me like the wall of the 400.
For the last blog before our travels being, I wanted to share with you a favorite quote of mine, along side of my favorite poster.

Throughout college, this quote and poster viewed above have hung on my wall (he quote besides the light switch) Next thing I knew, a silly tradition began, before each game or meet, as I left my room I'd touch the quote on my way out the door.
I have many many favorite quotes. Ones that are silly and ones with much attitude. But this one quote here just tops the charts.... "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again. Because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, he who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
--T. Roosevelt to me, aka in todays modern society, Just Do It!
