I want an ISBN number too!
So… I have this girlfriend (Julie) from college who just got a book published! Lucky! (I said that just like Napoleon. Just. Like.) Anywho, right on girl! Props! I have not read it, so I can’t review it here, but – Right! Arm! I should prolly buy it – then I could review it and support my peeps.
So, what would my book(s) be about? I dunno… the over use of triple periods? Stress, kids and rock-n-roll? Ah, I have ideas, but I don’t want my adoring public *Jen* to steal my golden ideas because she lost 8 chapters of the book she had written when her computer crashed not so long ago. Y’all say it with me… “Ouch!”
Now it seems aspiring authors have another name for hope – Xulon Press. I wish I had a book ready so I could get in on their special that ends June 29th. Oh well. Some day… some day…

I am so buying this book and giving it to Drama Queen. And relax, dear one. I would never steal your ideas. You know where I live!
HI Jen,
Just wanted to let you know that I did it! I did my half at Grandma’s (Duluth) on Saturday. My goal time was 2:15 and my chip time was 2:14. I was thrilled. It was stinkin hot and humid which made the showers people had rigged up and the water stops with ice and sponges an absolute life saver! I was just reading about your North Olympic half feelings at 11 – that is exactly where I started dying. I started using your 8 count – I was amazed at how it was able to distract me. That got my to my family. The belly dancers got me through 12 1/2 and the last half mile felt like about 10. But I gutted it out and finished in good form. I really need to learn what the heck a Carb boom is. I could have used some kind of boom at that point, like maybe a sonic boom behind me to propel me forward. I lost four minutes off my pace the last 3 miles. I was on pace for a 2:10 up until the 10 miles mark. Something to work on. I am totally running another one soon!! Can’t believe I said I wouldn’t run again!
Thanks for your ideas and inspiration. The 8 count and the advice to look at the miles behind, not the miles ahead – they stayed with me during the marathon.
Take care,
Lisa
