Dear Nerd Alert,

Can. Not. Wait.

Dear Crunch Time,

I'm counting down the days on ONE HAND until I run 13 miles...resulting in lots of mixed emotions.

But I'm mostly excited.
And petrified.
But mostly excited.

Dear Long Time Coming,

I am in the UK...and might never return.

Can't wait to do all that Noelle has planned.
She's the best.

Here's to having the time of my life.

God save the Queen.

Dear 8 miles,

I've never run that far before ever.

Here's to doing new things every day.

Next long run = 9 miles.

Dear Self Indulgence,

I don't give in to you...practically ever.

But this time...it's really hard to put up a fight...

Dear 2011 SLC Marathon,

I'm back...but this time not for the 3.14 miler...but the 13.1 miler.
With my sisters running beside me, I'm pretty sure we'll take first, second and third place.

Watch out.

Oh and your price plus processing fee is ridiculous.
People who procrastinate shouldn't have to pay more $.
That's absurd.

Dear Haagen-Dazs,

'Tis the season.

Thank you for creating an ice cream that captures, perfectly, what Christmas would taste like...if Christmas were a flavor:

White chocolate ice cream + Peppermint pieces + Peppermint bark pieces = Christmas
