Long run

Super quick post - really grateful for all the positive notes and in person support. I am overwhelmed in the best possible way. It gives me so much strength, especially at times when I am feeling a little less robust than usual which does happen, ahem.

Looks like the Marathon (just another long training run, right) is a go for tomorrow - woohoo! I am nervous, but excited to have this amazing opportunity to take advantage of for myself and to demonstrate resiliency in so many ways, more ways than I ever anticipated! Bib #28447.

Also, for those keeping track, a great weekend of racing. We had terrific conditions in Annapolis v. the US Naval Academy, and somehow got Georgetown to race us on Easter Sunday (knock knock, Brothers, Brothers, Brothers, how did that happen?). And, I may have mastered bus travel - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, basically, until you feel incontinent. That, plus a healthy does of meds and saltines. Getting 'er done!

  5. You're an inspiration, Linda, you always have been (cancer or no cancer!), to so many female rowing coaches and women across the country. Congrats on finishing the race! Thanks for taking the time to share your stories through your blog. As someone who is not on twitter or facebook, but is a fellow blogger, I really appreciate reading your experiences. Go get 'em, Linda!!!
