Breathing and gratitude: I think you have it right. I so love that you're doing this race, Gretchen. You are the perfect person to toe the starting line in Silverton. You deserve this race.

I needed something to make it even harder. ;)Things feel pretty good at the moment though, and I am feeling quite hopeful! I certainly have a rockstar team here supporting me!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-45729429501293470052012-07-12T09:53:55.354-07:002012-07-12T09:53:55.354-07:00Oh, I didn't know about this.

If anyone can keep a relatively calm, patient mind going into this, it's you.<br /><br />I'll be crossing my fingers that your stomach allows you to do what you're in the San Juans to do.Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-33048118701343743982012-07-11T11:52:04.233-07:002012-07-11T11:52:04.233-07:00Thanks, Julie!Thanks, Julie!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-19219481297888039232012-07-11T11:51:40.707-07:002012-07-11T11:51:40.707-07:00Olga - Exactly!Olga - Exactly!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-23730984968620153702012-07-11T10:40:28.857-07:002012-07-11T10:40:28.857-07:00You truly are amongst the lucky ones.
