we got a good shot of a group of us team AME (austin marathon experience) runners yesterday after our last long run. sigh and yikes! all at the same time. it is hard to believe that the marathon is two weeks away. we have been training together for six months and it is hard to imagine that it will be over soon. joining this group has been an amazing experience for me. not just as a running/athletic accomplishment. i have made some really awesome friends that i know are going to still be around when all of this is over. it has made my transition from Savannah to Austin smooth and a lot of fun. if you are a runner who has never trained with a group for a big event i totally recommend it. i thought running solo was the way to go but you have no idea what it is like to have the support of 20some odd folks cheering you on at a track work out, long training run or just to have a buddy to run with mid week. i love it. and to have the support of all of the members of Rogue when out on a big race like the 3M last weekend. awesome! so even if i don't hit my goal time for this, my first marathon, it has really been about the experience and the process of getting to this point that has been amazing and well worth it.
