It's nice to read that someone so much faster than me carries water and takes walking breaks. When I finished NY, I was toying with the idea of running California in Dec. Fortunately, it filled!Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489181738411546254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-60663965342582664372009-11-20T16:42:53.345-08:002009-11-20T16:42:53.345-08:00Wonderful job, Darrell!

And that certainly looks like a beautiful area.<br /><br />Enjoy the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, and we will do our best to brew up some perfect marathon weather for the Twin Cities Marathon in 2010! :)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185580660442865724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-58688448810731445012009-11-15T05:43:54.113-08:002009-11-15T05:43:54.113-08:00Great Blog Darrell - I got here from Charlie's...Great Blog Darrell - I got here from Charlie's (Shoreturtle) blog. I almost came out to do Harrisburg, but I've got Philly next week so I decided to play it smart (uncharacteristic for a marathoner). I am curious to start watching your state quest now, it is something that I've considered...Progman2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/04084535988452978656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-57402211570319034932009-11-14T19:03:47.991-08:002009-11-14T19:03:47.991-08:00Nice report.

You think you have it figured out and then something seems odd again. <br /><br />Overall, though, I think the shortness of time from a super effort in Des Moines was the big factor at the end. It could not have been BBQ pre-race...BBQ is always a plus :-)<br /><br />Enjoy the recovery time!!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09405132833234395104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-16870226333767560612009-11-14T13:58:32.194-08:002009-11-14T13:58:32.194-08:00hmmm....if my kiss put a spring in your step and y...hmmm....if my kiss put a spring in your step and you slowed down that much, then next time I'll have to do it better so you can sprint to the finish!!!!!Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-17561648318349555842009-11-14T13:52:59.584-08:002009-11-14T13:52:59.584-08:00Look like it was a beautiful day for a marathon! ...Look like it was a beautiful day for a marathon! Yeah, 2-3 miles between aid stations seems far for a regular road marathon.

The variable is the child and their personality. You may never figure out what (if anything) you did "wrong", it just is what it is. Sometimes we have to let go of our expectations and look our child in the eye, see who they really are rather than who we think they are or should be, and love them all the same. <br /><br />I don't know your circumstances, so I can't really comment on that - all I can say is that we had to do that with our children. It's not easy, but there comes a point where we realize that they are truly their own person and that they intend to live life on their terms rather than ours. You are absolutely right - their mistakes are theirs to make, hard as it is to watch. We can be there to help pick up the pieces (or at least offer moral support while they pick them up), we can hope and pray that they learn from the mistake, but that is all that we can do. And most of all, we can let them know that we love them.Journey to a Centumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294889164059934956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138585.post-85305009543460287972009-11-13T12:34:20.485-08:002009-11-13T12:34:20.485-08:00I'm trying to recall what number you were on w...I'm trying to recall what number you were on when I started reading your blog ... but I seem to remember it was a LOT lower than sixteen.
