So, right now, it's about 6.30a on Saturday (CT) and that translates to 7.30a for you - hope you have a blast running your "old time" marathon!

This was my favorite newsletter this week (although I do love them all and think I'm becoming a bit of a pest chatting here with you). I also finished your "Do It or Don't" journal - absolutely loved that! 5 stars. Enjoy your weekend. Cheers from Omaha, Nebraska.

Diane!! Thank you so much for reading Do It (or Don't) -- that makes me so happy! You did indeed post your comment probably when I was around mile...four or so? Your encouraging words and comments always make me feel like I'm doing something right, so please never stop on my account!

This sounds like the best marathon. Good luck and have fun!

Also, as the BFF of an ancient 13 year old dog that I take on verrrrry slow walks around the neighborhood, I am in love with Domino.

Would you believe I saw Domino again on Friday after I published this newsletter?! And I feel bad about using the word "ancient" -- I mean it with all the love in the world.

Oh, "ancient" is the exact right word. I'm sure Domino - and Calvin! - would agree. <3

I remembered this IV drip of courage comment during the run. THANK YOU.

Ah, the familiar sensation of waiting for the conditions to be perfect before starting!

So familiar it only happens to me...every day?! haha.

That's SO COOL about the Karathon!!! I can't believe I missed this. Did you tell us more about it???? I'm going to try and look!

11 years ago, after Hurricane Sandy cancelled the NYC marathon I was due to run, I ran a Marshathon on the London course! I told a story about it, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WXHFEubal8&ab_channel=TrueStoriesToldLiveToronto

(which is actually at my own show... after one of my storytellers had dropped out!)

Yours, who had thought you were cool before but now EVEN MORE SO!!

I'm sorry I missed this back in October but OMG -- MIND MELD! I so love that you did a Marshathon (and I was signed up for the Hurricane Sandy NYC Marathon too, twins!). What an absolutely heroic feat!
