So This is What I am Supposed to Feel.

It's twenty five miles from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
But I got a woman waiting for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
A make a man go stone wild
So I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby calling my name
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms, one more time
Now when I kiss her lips
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on oh ho ho
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

Come on feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six,
I got a five more miles to go
Now over the hill just around the bend
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again
I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on
I'm so tired
But I just can't loose my stride
Walkin'
I got to walk on
Let me tell you now...
Walkin'
I got to walk on...



The 2008 Walt Disney World Marathon
5 hours, 20 minutes and 26 seconds

"If I can run for 42km, I can do anything"

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Out among the stars I sail
Way beyond the moon
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
Now I know exactly who I am
And what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more

All the things I thought I'd be
All the brave things I'd done
Vanished like a snowflake
With the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship
Where no man has gone before
And I will go sailing no more

No it can't be true
I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky
I believe I can fly
Why I'd fly

Clearly I will go sailing, no more

Someone asked me what my new years resolution was for 2008. I simply said - to run a marathon. And I will run a marathon. One week from this very moment I will have crossed the line, medal around my neck. And every step of the way, there I will be, right beside myself, the me who never thought good things could happen, who never thought she would ever be beautiful, the me who never thought she could.

I will take her hand and together we will cross the line. And more than I ever have before. I will believe I can.
