The Saint in Texas

I received word yesterday that St. Rick and I ended up on a Texas Baptist blog. It's the first time I know of that I've been linked to on another blog -- and definitely a first to have an organization link =0) So thanks John and Texas Baptists! 

Three days left till I reach the starting line. The extreme dear is waning a bit, and I'm finding myself excited. Down to carb-loading, water-drinking, and money-raising. And mantra-collecting. People are beginning to tell me what they think of during the hard-spots. Pretty fun. Feel free to share your own -- whether running-related or in the midst of any other tough time.
