6.5 swampy, draining, rejuvenating miles. I feel awesome/ awful. How do you runners train in this?

Goal updates

Don't call this a bucket list. No one is planning on dying. These are things that Meghan wanted to do and was unable to. These are goals. There is something powerful in the young being naive and feeling invincible. We get things done. We don't plan for horrible things. We dream, We have ideas and for the strong ones (Meghan) we accomplish or have plans in the works to accomplish those dreams.
I know a lot of you have responded about wanting to participate with these and the HUGE response is amazing, exciting and inspiring. If you want to be part of any or all of these email me at;

fortheloveofmeghan@gmail.com

and ill try to organize and keep track of what we're doing, where and when.

So.... here we go- (Thursday, September 10, 2009)
