Do I think I can do this (as in- am I really going to be able to be with you guys at the starting line?) Yes, no, maybe so........................

(Julia really wanted us to turn around so we could cheer you on. But I thought we'd a)freak you out or embarass you and b)we'd be late to meet with Mom. And you know how well that goes over! ;)

wow miq! 3 miles right out of the starting blocks? i'm impressed! i know you will be able to do it - just be a little patient with your body - it will remember...
soooo glad to have you back!!
I happen to LOVE post-run pictures. They prove to yourself that you actually worked your butt off, because look at the sweat and nappy hair!
wow that picture is intense, but not for the reasons you're thinking. There is a glint in your eye that is almost scary with determination. I like it! I can't believe you saw me, too funny. Where was it?
I am SO happy to hear that your toe didn't hurt during the run! yeah for you to be able to get back to training. I hope that the toe continues to feel good. Great job with the 3 miles!!
"Miq" said I was welcome to stop by. It's awesome that you all are training for a half mary. It's such a fun distance to race.
Keep it up!
Yay! Good job Mique!
Good for you!!! And I think you look great post run :) My face would look like a bright red lobster!
