Last Sunday I ran 20 miles. It's so far! My legs ached, but my muscles were not sore afterwards. I take that as a normal sign. Feeling great now. 23 miles this Sunday or next.
But I digress. I am now running this marathon solo. Madeline dropped out because of knee problems and school. Alicia was really into it, very excited to be doing the marathon. She happens to be a naturally gifted distance runner!
Turns out, she is also going to be a naturally gifted mother! Alicia and Stewart are expecting their first child in March.
The business of growing cells and making an extra cute baby is hard work! It's exhausting for her, and she is not always feeling well. Marathon training is not in the picture for her right now.
She hopes to try for the marathon again in the future, but will have to figure out how to make that happen in a year or two.
I could not possibly be upset that I am running alone because this joyous news is so wonderful and exciting, it over shadows everything else.
Congratulations Alica and Stewart!
